Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear of his passing. I knew Don from our Friday morning poker games at the Senior Center. He loved a good game of poker and he always had a good time as did the rest of the group. He will be missed

Thank you for your service to our country. Rest In Peace.

Top notch, fair, professional and ethical leader. I worked for Don as a summer cop for two years back in the early 80's before going active duty Air Force. RIP Sir

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

During my time at SSPD during summers Sargent ElY would ask me Jokingly “if I had built any bridges yet” although I was in college studying architecture not engineering ...I enjoyed knowing him...RIP Don!

WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY!! (WAS CLASSMATE AT GREENWICH CENTRAL SCHOOL)

I counted Don among my friends in the Saratoga Springs Dept of public safety, he was. a good man

Don will be missed as one of the good guys; he always had time to chat when our paths crossed usually in the office where I was working. Prayers & comfort to his family & friends.

I’m so sorry for your loss .
Don was a neighbor of mine for years and it was so nice knowing him .
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
