He later continued his career with Century 21 and ultimately with RE\/MAX Gold, where he remained an active and respected member of the Smith Home Team until his final days.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Beyond his professional achievements, Don had a deep love for life and community. He was a fixture on Monday nights at the bocce ball courts, where he played with joy and camaraderie. He also had a passion for singing, which brought light and laughter to many gatherings over the years.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Don\u2019s commitment to Arnold extended well beyond real estate. He gave generously of his time and talents through his active membership in numerous local organizations, including SIRS (Sons in Retirement), the Lions Club, and many other community groups. He also served on the Board of Realtors for over a dozen years, shaping the local industry and mentoring countless new agents.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Above all, Don was a devoted family man. He leaves behind his loving wife, Beverly Fry, his daughter Kristen Wallace and son Brian Fry, and his beloved four grandchildren, with whom he shared a bond and joy that words can hardly capture. Spending time with his family was one of his greatest joys in life.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">As we honor his remarkable life, we invite the community to show their support for Beverly during this difficult time. A GoFundMe page has been created for those who would like to contribute. Donations can also be sent directly to Beverly.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><span class=\"html-span xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x1hl2dhg x16tdsg8 x1vvkbs\"><a class=\"x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x1ejq31n xd10rxx x1sy0etr x17r0tee x972fbf xcfux6l x1qhh985 xm0m39n x9f619 x1ypdohk xt0psk2 xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x16tdsg8 x1hl2dhg xggy1nq x1a2a7pz xkrqix3 x1sur9pj x1fey0fg x1s688f\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgofund.me%2Fc56ebb19%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExUFNGWWtJMGtIV1ZXRWU1RwEe9_42ZzyzMb0xppL178TFxa3i9EHT6LwVIkb8M4QNmNruiP1PRktmBqoKEOA_aem_sDTSfZWypV8LKFCXyhZZlQ&amp;h=AT3mKgxq2VAo4m40ugWfzguXeY-hSa6l2qevtOy0hQJY8Ntrw04kQP0PSgVv9-faEx3uv7AzIo4dqF9_B_Vz2-7jsm5pEy4xCxEowomPGctpTafc6WBU2af-53slNIewnkJEDqpAhK74oQ&amp;__tn__=-UK-R&amp;c[0]=AT35bqjvJxGmqX4QLqqRL4WBRlRliIRDWAFvMtfH21nbad9ZgBOMowo8jsXA6VSsEJ0ueX7Xol1nZKluPBVp5NWPbCSaqbG74aoIPveQxW7MaCFNbbjxI0sfwMmBtUdKOEOo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/gofund.me\/c56ebb19<\/a><\/span> or mail P.O.
