My deepest condolences to the Scovill family. Don was truly an awesome man and I had the priviledge to work with him as well during the TRW days. I was starting out and he helped me so much. He never said a mean word to me even though I'm sure I frayed his last nerve with all my questions. He had the neatest and most precise checkprints I've ever seen! He really helped me out so much. The last time I saw him was at the Lighthouse restaurant in Pedro. He said I looked familiar and asked me if I worked on the boat.! I have only good memories of him and always will. He will be missed. God bless you all.

Scovill Family,
I worked for Don for 2 years at TRW and as Jim Combs said he was a great guy to work for and with. Always friendly and considerate to every one.
I am sorry for your loss and you are all in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Scovill Family:

I had the good opportunity to work with Don at TRW for 27 years. Don was a good supervisor who treated the employees under his direction with respect. He was always available for any consultation to solve problems. Many employees always had good things to say about Don.

I am so sorry for your loss. Don was a good friend, a good worker, and an exceptional man.
