Tony and I send our deepest and warmest expressions of love, sympathy, and prayers to you all at this time. Don will be greatly missed. I have such wonderful and fond memories of my amazing uncle over the years. How fortunate were we who got to know him and to love him.
So many memories as a kid meeting up with Mr. Salmonson at the airport and riding to the cabin. Cooking up wild oysters and having us try them! He always made us laugh. Will be missed ❤️
We cannot go forward without sending our condolences and love to our dear Ruth Salmonson Knudson who is Don’s sister. A dear cousin who has become a WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF THE SALMONSON FAMILY.
