Mr Lykins was the plant manager when my Dad "Dick" Dillman worked at Lovejoy. Dad had a great deal of respect for Mr Lykins and Mr Lykins afforded my Dad considerable kindness during my Dad's terminal illness. Dad was clock #1001... the first man hired at Lovejoy-South Haven. Thank you Mr Lykins and God Speed.

I could never thank Mr. Lykins enough for the opportunity in trusting, and giving me good advise when I was a kid for the restaurant "Homeplate" he opened. I learned alot from his family. I have fond memories when he lived out at the house on lake michigan and would stop and vist my parents and was always asking how andreas and myself were. Thanks Mr. Lykins for everything you've accomplished and planting my feet in the job world so many years ago. On behalf of my parents and brother we will miss you. May the angels bless you like you have blessed all of us here.

As the father of our dearest friends Chuck and Barb Miller, we would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the family. Don was truely a exceptional man through the service he rendered to his family, his community, and his Lord and Savior. Our church has a saying " A man never stands taller then when he is on his knees", this describes Don. We have known Don for over thirty years. Don has always treated us as part of his family and we are eternally grateful for his love and kindness. We look forward to rejoicing with him in the eternities. Reed and Laura Ellis
