Sergeant Don L. Byerley

Don and I both attended Mountain Grove High School, Mountain Grove, Missouri. He was a year older than I(almost to the day) but for some reason he befriended me. I don't remember when we started running around together but maybe sometime late 1963 early 1964. He had a car and I didn't. He was living with his grandmother and I was living with my grandparents. We spent time together as teenagers and did things that teenagers do. I spent several nights at his grandmother's sleeping in a real feather bed and eating breakfast that his grandmother prepared. I don't remember her name. I didn't know Don as an adult but he obviously was very successful as a police officer and as a husband and father.
On this 44th anniversary of his death it is an honor to say I knew this man.
Rest in Peace Friend.
