Don, you and Frank were two of the best bosses anyone could have ever asked for. Don, you were so generous, funny and most of all had one of the biggest hearts. We girls from the orig d&B will miss you terribly. Especially on valentines day! I just can't belive it.

Uncle Don,
You told the most hilarious and most ridiculously drawn out jokes than anyone else I've ever met. You had the best laugh, greatest smile and the biggest heart. You were always so good to my family and for that I'll be forever grateful. I love you.
I'm so sorry for your loss Aunty Jo and Joanna & Family. Praying for you all.

Dear Joanne, for over forty years at ACC Don was a long time friend. We played every year on the Labor Day tournament and had much success and even more fun. But we had many, many more days of every day golf. I never forget a regular day, in the days before Cormier bought the club, on the sixth hole Don was driving and he went down over the hill at a breaknet speed (in a gas cart in neutral!) and branded me for life in a golfcart! I have been the driver ever since! A good, long time friend, we missed some dates in the last few months, but I assure you he will always be in my heart as one of a special friend.

I want to express my sincere condolences to Don's wife, daughter, grandkids, family members and friends for your devastating loss. I had worked for Don back when he ran Ellis & Andrews and remained with him for 18 years. I will never forget Don and will miss him always.

Don and I were classmates of Xavier High School's class of 1967. Though our paths did not cross in the half-century since then, and even though we did not keep in touch, I have very fond memories of my deceased classmate and add my condolences to those already expressed. He was always smiling and entirely positive as he sailed through our four years of high school. Don told great stories ( some of which may have been true or partially true; most of which were probably neither ) and got along with EVERYONE. He had a positive attitude about life which allowed him to see the sunshine through the rain drops.
Sincerely,
Francis J. Pawlowski & Family

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.

Always enjoyed his company on the water, golf course, or sharing a cocktail.
A sharp wit if there ever was one. Phil
