Condolence: Don was Mr. Burger Boy to me when I met him while I was working for a local furniture company. He made great food for us at a very good price. He always was friendly with us, and I think that was the real man, not just a front to make money. He put us people ahead of money, and for that we thought of him as not just Mr. Burger Boy, but as a good friend. In later years I loved going to his pizza places, especially when he had all 3 going at the same time. He lived the American dream, and those of us whose lives he touched are better off because of his presence. Don, thanks for being yourself.
