Donald Adrian Lydens

Just read about Don passing away. I worked near Don at Howmet. He was a shy, quiet guy until you got to know him.
My Sympathy to Randy and Kim.
Guess who is looking Down from Heaven, Saying I met God. And I'm with Mom & Dad.

Little Donnie was a bright and gifted boy as a youth who took to art and mechanics. He would draw cartoon characters when he was young and re-build engines and build 'chopper' motorcycles in his older years. He liked spray painting and would do custom painting including metal-flake. He could problem solve and find better ways of doing things and was solely responsible for modifying a set of work instructions at Howmet that would result in doubling production in that area. Don also was handy...

My condolences to the family of Donnie Lydens. I have many happy memories from when we were kids. May he rest in peace.

Randy, Don, and Kim are my first cousins (not my brothers).
