I remember Don as if it was yesterday. We used to go to Lake Washington in the Coaches, Coach Dunaway, trailer. I remember hiding the beer one time when he came to check on us. You were always crazy and you, Frank England, Bobby Long, and me had some wild times on the house boat and in the trailer. That is how the "Lake Washington Trio" got started! That was me and Jimmy Phillips and possibly Joe Dantone!
To me, you were always very shy. Maybe not so much after a few beers. I will always remember your sweet, kind face. Wish you could have stuck around and had a few grandkids. That's when you would have found true love. You will never be forgotten Don.
Don and I lived together there for awhile. We shared a housetrailer. Don was funny, really funny. Troubled there at the end, but still searching. He was a dreamer if there ever was one. A dang good basketball player. I remember that Soloman team...great one. When I did his dad's funeral some years ago I thought of our last conversation about Don. Coach never got over "my boy's death." He was one of those people that just had to go and see what the other side is like. I miss Don.
One of the kindest things I ever witnessed was Don Dunaway's standing up for Mack Payne, a special-needs janitor who had an obsession for Roy Rogers horse, Trigger. Some GHS boys had cornered and taunted Mack claiming that Trigger was dead. He was howling in tears when Don came to his rescue. Don was not a big man, but he stood head and shoulders above the crowd when it came to integrity and compassion. So sorry to see him go.
