I sadly never met him, even though
he at one point lived an hour or less from me. I think he'd since moved out of Douglas County MO, but was still perhaps in Missouri.
What I will remember was how kind and encouraging he was to Melony, my then girlfriend. That was 20 years ago, btw. She had a difficult complex life, and Don kept very much in touch with her, offering her advice and encouragement. It helped.
I'm a fairly dark moody soul, but Mr Sikes was one of those folks you find from time to time, who was very much on the positive side. I appreciated him then, and I still do.
