Never heard of him until this thread but then I'm not a fan of country music. No matter. May he RIP.

Don was awesome, we went to see him last year at the Jubile. Loss of a legend.

Was just looking at one of his 8 tracks yesterday at my mother's, and was thinking I need to put one of his albums on. At least his music lives on. Big loss to country music.

Remember the old man playing his tunes when I was a wee lad, funny how those songs stick with you many years later.
RIP, play it right up in heaven!

Saw him a few years back at Devils Lake Corral, great songs, although he was not to talkative with crowd, seemed very humble guy.

Grew up listening to him as he was one of mom and dads favorites. Good songs to listen too while driving along the highways.

The first date the good missus Henry and I went on was to a Don Williams concert back about 1982. R.I.P. Don Williams and thank you for sharing your gift. D.H.
