    I have not spoken to Don in over 55 years but he is never far from my mind. His friendship during those important adolescent development years was a positive impact for me. He will live on through me as he has been, and will continue to be, one of my goto security questions for online computer apps. Who was your first best friend. Answer. Don Burns

    My condolences to his family and friends.
