In memory of Don Pfeiffer

April 9, 2015 by Katelyn

Today’s day of sanctuary was sponsored by Karen and Don Young, in memory of Karen’s brother, Don Pfeiffer. Don’s birthday is today and Karen shared this message about him: “Today is in memory of my beloved brother who was an animal activist, a meso-American archeologist, a construction contractor much like JB (could build anything and was very creative because he had to take native materials while in the jungle and construct houses for everyone on the digs), devoted uncle and brother-in-law and a Patriot who lost his life serving his country.”

Karen and Don, thank you so much for sponsoring this day for the chimpanzees in memory of Don. He sounds like a special person and we are touched you would choose to honor him by making a difference for the chimpanzees. We hope this day is filled with love and good memories as you celebrate his life.

The chimpanzees, surrounded by so much love, had someone else special sponsor this day for them as well, which we will be sharing shortly.
