We will miss Don immensely. He was such a kind, loving and thoughtful man. He had a wide breadth of experience and knowledge and was willing to share that with all. He lived an exemplary life.
Dick Bee, so sorry to learn of your brother’s passing. I had the honor of working with Don at CBI many years ago! You and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I want to extend my condolences to Eloise and all the family. It was an honor and privilege to know Don. When he came in the Post Office, it always made my day better. I was in the Navy and knowing he was a WWII veteran was extra special. Every time we lose a WWII veteran, we lose part of America. He was a special man and I will miss him. My heart is with you.
Don will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. We are proud to have known him as a friend and a brother in Christ. He was a joy to be around because he treated everyone with such kindness and respect. Condolences to the family.
God’s speed and condolences to Margy & family.
To the whole Bee Family. You are in our thoughts and prayers during your time of Loss!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are so very sorry to read this morning of Don’s passing. He was a lifelong friend to both my mom and dad as well as Sis. Our deepest condolences to the entire family. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Don and Sis were long time Christian friends to our family. Don was such a fun person to be around. He will be sadly missed. Our sincere sympathy to the Bee family.
Our deepest sympathy to the entire family. I (Jill) had the privelege of getting to know Don & Sis at the Wellness Center many years ago. He was such a bright spot in the mornings to everyone there. The stories he told were always so enjoyable and quite often funny too. Over the years of seeing them out at lunch here and there in town, we would always speak and laugh at his latest story or jokes. He will be missed by many just as he was loved by many. Cherish those memories – he was a wonderful one-of-a-kind man!!! May God rest his soul and may you all find comfort in know he is in a beautiful place
We were so sorry to learn of Uncle Don’s passing. I will always remember his great stories, his fun and kindness as well as he and Aunt Sis’s visits.
