A colleague, a mentor, and a friend. Don got me started in television, and I would not be where I am or who I am today without him. You will be dearly missed.

As said in his obituary Don was a soft spoken, very kind man and had such an interesting career and life. I am thankful I got to meet him and enjoyed what visits I had with he and Emily. A very special couple. He will be missed.
