The Oxford Food Pantry would like to thank everyone who remembered Don Paulson through their memorial giving to the pantry. Don will be greatly missed by those at the pantry in so many ways..

Just saying “thank you “ doesn’t seem like enough to all the people involved in pulling off the surprise Friday night. But a big thanks goes out to the ones responsible for coordinating the event, to the SV administration for the plaque and slide presentation, the making of the t-shirts, to those who contributed to “the sign”, and for the cards and comments. Please know that I am deeply humbled, grateful and blessed. A very special thanks to all the past players, coaches, parents and friends who have filled this journey with countless great memories. I would especially like to thank my wife and family for all the sacrifices and support they have given. Not many can spend their whole life playing games and being around such a great group of people. GO BIG RED AND GO EAGLES.
