Level-headed, soft spoken, capable, confident guy. All his family can be as PROUD of Don as we were PLEASED and THANKFUL to have him as a workmate in a sometimes topsy-turvy industry.
RIP, Don.

I joined Electrohome in 1971 and had the privilege of working with Don until we both left in the early 1980s when the company exited the Consumer Electronics business. Don was a gifted designer and a true gentleman. It was a pleasure working with him. When I moved to Mitsubishi I was able to retain Don´s services for another decade and introduced him to our US sister company in California, where he also did some design work. This came to an end when Mitsubishi also exited the business globally. My sincere condolences to Don´s family.
