My family met Don almost two years ago at my mother’s auction sale when he purchased an old rambler. He and his grandson were such hard workers, and impressed my boys. They often saw him at future auctions, and always made a point to talk to him. He was always kind and considerate, and took time to answer their questions on the history of “old” auction items. RIP

Orem UthaTo my Mother (Victoria Bruns) and cousins.
I would like to extend my deepest sympathy in the recent lost of another loved one so soon. We want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you ath this difficult time. It is never easy to say good bye to our loved ones. We just have to remember they are celebrating their new life with the ones who have gone before them. The joy and happeness they must be experiencing as they are greeted by Kim his daughter, his parents and others. So I hope you can lighten your burdens with memories of loving, good and fuuny things about “Corky” your brother/father. I know that my mom loved him and did things for him many times in the past few years, and that he too did things for her. We really were apprecitive thast he would cut his time short in Washington to travel all nigh a day to make it back for my dad’s funeral in January….. who would of thought we are now to this point. Thank you for sharing your father with us and others. May your hearts be comforted this day.
