My condolences to Lois and all Don´s family and friends. He touched many lives. Like Janene and CW, Don mentored me as a polygraph examiner with the Postal Inspection Service. I will always have fond memories of our time and travels together.

My deepest sympathies. I got training from Don as a new examiner. He was always a professional but I did not know until reading his obit that he and my Dad were both former 11th Airborne paratroopers. "Go Airborne"

My sincere condolences to the family. I was privileged to be a Postal Inspector in Kansas in 1986, and learned much, much more from Don about the science of polygraphs than the basic training course could possibly cover. Confession is good for the soul, so thanks, Don, for helping to separate the innocent from the guilty. And thank you also for protecting our country in the Army and the people of Missouri in the Highway Patrol.

Dear Lois and family,

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I enjoyed my time being trained by and working with Don during our many polygraph years together. Hugs to all of us sharing our loss, Janene

Don assisted me in several cases by performing polygraphs when I was assigned to IA and NE in the mid 1980s. He was always professional on the job and a friend off the job. I was saddened to learn of his passing. My condolences to his family.
