Don Wilbanks, Gastonia NC

Post by Tony Prior »

Longtime friend and Steel player Don Wilbanks, Gastonia NC , passed 10/26 from a long battle with cancer. Don was known as a quiet, gentle man, a friend to all. Don was a relative of the "CRISP" family out of NC as well as "retired" local Law Enforcement, he served his community.

RIP Don.
