    Uncle Don was a true gentleman, proud Veteran and family man. He was an inspiration to honor. We will miss him. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to his wonderful children, Linda and Mark, his grandchildren and great grandchildren. We were all blessed to have Uncle Don in our lives, and he will always be fondly remembered.

    We did not know Col. F.itzHarris well, but recall meeting him at Krista and Todd’s wedding and were very impressed with him. A true gentleman. He will be missed greatly.

    So sorry for your loss. I worked with Mr Firz in Civilian Personnel and he was a favorite of mine, many fond memories. He was always very kind. Sincere sympathy and prayers. Teresa Shank
