Don Swaney…
Not much I can say about Uncle Don. I have only seen him, never heard him. I honestly don’t even remember what his voice sounded like. I do know that he was a very kind man. He loved to farm and took care of his lawn like nobodies’ business.
It was best said by William Butler, his nephew, Don’s words were like gold pieces. When he talked you needed to cherish those times because they were worth a lot.
