    I met Don a few years ago through his Construction Business as I had him do some work for me. We developed a friendship through music and I jammed with him quite often.. traded guitar pieces over the years. I felt privileged to know him and he was one of my closed friends. He was very generous...and a kind person. I will miss his friendship for a long time. Condolences to his all his Family.

    Memories come rushing back, of the Claremont-Warren streets families who grew up with the Westhavers when Don was a kid and teenager. There was the gang of boys, our bothers, hanging out together, goofing around, playing ball, music, and eventually doing stuff with their cars. And there were the bunch of us girls out doing our thing. Someone was always at someone else's house. We all knew everyone's parents and they knew us. We called them Mr. X and Mrs. X ... never by their first name! The girls and guys would often get together on the ball field, playing a game of baseball, and 'sledding' down that hill in the winter. Once in awhile, a game of hide and seek broke out in 'the woods' behind the Clancy's house. Don was always good for a giggle or two. I even went on a couple of 'dates' with him ... I took him to the Don Schelew Christmas party one year and another time, he took me to see the movie, 'The Exorcist'. He was old enough to get in; I don't believe I was. The crazy things we did as kids. 😉 I got to see Don for a visit; he dropped by the house a handful of years ago when I was out to see Liz and Terri in Bedford. He was even more the kind and humble guy I remembered. My sincere condolences to Liz, Carla, Terri and their families. 💔
