Don ,Doug, Kevin, and Tracy, so sorry for the loss of your father.Your dad was one person i have always admired and looked up to. I can think of no one that has helped myself and many others in our community Without his help with summer jobs many Butte kids would not have been college bound.Your dad treated everyone with respect and everyone loved him.He has made so many people proud to be from Butte.He will be missed by all ,and i will never forget what he has done for me.

Don, Tracey, Doug, and Kevin — My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family at this time of loss. Your father had a great long life and accomplished so many things. He was a hero to many people, including me. May the memories you cherish, of both your parents, outweigh the grief of their absence. I love and I’m thinking of you all at this time.

Don and I loved Butte and Ireland and spoke often about them. We shared Irish immigrant grandparents (Peoples) from Donegal.

My condolences to the entire Peoples can. Big Don was one of the first people I met when I moved to Butte. I appreciated his undying support for Butte Central, his “can-do” spirit, and his thoughtful decision-making. He was truly the heart of Butte. May he rest in peace.
