Donald L. Proksa
Don and I were best friends for 45 years. We were able to have a wonderful phone conversation one week before his untimely passing. Don and I reflected on all the great life experiences that we were able to share with each other, as being best buddies and loving friends. We were both blessed to have the opportunity to share our final words that we loved each other. My prayers and deepest condolences go out to Barb, Shawn,& Drew. I will miss my best friend forever.

Shawn and family, Pro-I was terribly saddened to hear about the loss of your Dad. I have fond memories of him on Forest Drive. He was a gentle, kind man. I recall a few nights when he would have to remind us to "keep it down" as we were swimming in the pool in your backyard. He was great and was blessed with a wonderful wife, son, and grandson. Keep the memories alive through stories and pictures. My brother, Randy sends his condolences as well. Take care.
