DON PACK'S EX-WIFE PASSES AWAY

 

Sally Ann Houlihan Pack, former wife of late BJ Composing retiree Don Pack and the mother of their seven children, passed away June 25 in Sarasota.

 

Don cleaned the pool at Sea Castle on adjacent Siesta Key, where my late wife Mona and I spent a month every February for about a decade.

 

Don lived his final 17 years with Betsy Friese of Sarasota. They traveled around the Americas today.

 

Don passed away in 2015 while on a cruise with Betsy.
