DON GFELL RIP

Post by Raphael »

Don Gfell passed last night; I am at a loss for words to satisfactorily extol the virtues of this most kind and humble man who was always a beacon of optimism and enthusiasm. We will all miss him dearly.

Services are scheduled for this coming Saturday, in Norwalk Ohio.

I’m so sorry to hear this very sad news. Many years of seeing Don at Union and some happy camaraderie with him are fond memories for me. May he Rest In Peace.

Very sad news. I only dealt with Don once, but the experience was friendly and pleasant. He seemed to be a genuinely nice person.

Sorry to hear the news. He was always a pleasure to talk with at the shows and gladly offered advice to anyone who asked. He will be truly missed.

Echoing what others have said. Don and Bobbie were always so friendly and helpful. He leaves a big hole, not only in the hobby, but in his community.
Hopefully there will be ways that we can show our support for Bobbie through this difficult time.
