I received this message this morning:

Some of you probably knew Don. He attended lots of tours, often traveling with his best friend, Herman Campbell. I just saw Don and Herman at the Hillbilly Tour in Springfield a few weeks ago. He seemed fine at that time; this is a big surprise. I just spoke with Herman, and he said that Don had a heart attack 2 days ago while working in his garage.
Don was very soft-spoken, so you may not remember having met him. He operated a brake shop during much of his life and was an ace mechanic and machinist. His T was always in top running shape. Those of us who knew him will miss his quiet yet positive presence.
Our condolences to the Coshow Family.
Respectfully
Harvey & Karen Decker
