Several years ago Norbert Costa introduced Don to me....lt didn’t take long and I was bugging Don for any advice he would give me regarding Long Range Shooting and Advanced Reloading for the Custom Rifles Norbert has built for me. As the years went by Don would meet me at the Range and help me develop my shooting skills, he was a very patient instructor and would be very reassuring and delighted when the results on target met his expectations. One of the best tidbits of advice that Don would tell me when my “ Hot Loads “ We’re causing me reloading problems....he would say, Tom...find an accurate load with a little less powder...you can always Dial Up !!!! We shared many hours on the phone discussing reloading, hunting, fishing, the Rocky Mountains, Alaska, family and life in general. We would meet often in Nampa for Coffee or the Bowling Alley in Homedale for lunch and the Orchard Restaurant north of Marsing. As many folks may know, Don was an exceptional Chef....I enjoyed receiving many photos of examples of his Culinary Skills and as our relationship grew he would have an unbelievable deep dish apple pie or a couple loaves of bread waiting for me in his vehicle after we had lunch somewhere. My family and even my neighbors came to appreciate Don’s cooking. Whenever I would meet with Don he was always full of energy and a happy disposition, my wife Leilani would say Don had dancing eyes....and that was the kind of spirit he would show up with....she would always put Tea Towels in with the pie dish when I would be heading out to return them and have lunch. It is my great fortune that Don and I had lunch together on my 75th Birthday at the Bowling Alley, January 17, 2020....God knows I’m gonna miss him....Tom McLoughlin
