On behalf of the Forest Lake American Legion Post 225, we give thanks for Don’s service in the military and to veterans as a longtime Legionnaire.
Our deepest condolences to the family. We spent many yrs hunting on their property. We had a lot of great memories having beverages, laughs and just being around the whole family. We are deeply sad over this news. RIP Thank you for your service and the memories. You are with your wife and son. Love Tim and Bonnie Endicott
