Together, the couple raised 6 children, Tom, Geri, Cindy, Don, Jr., Mark, and Mike. The two lifetime accomplishments that Don was most proud of was raising his family and creating his business, B & D Glass Company, which began as a solo enterprise that he started in his basement and built into the thriving company his sons and grandchildren continue to run.

My deepest condolences to the Godfrey family. Don was a fun loving person who myself and family have life long loving memories together. A true family man, , the family you raised is a perfect example of the man you were. I often expressed over the years that the Godfrey’s were my second family, and all you treated me as such. Rest In Peace Daddy Don, a term we alway used when Don Jr. was present over the years on in conversation. God bless you all.
Love Frank Lucero
