Judy and family: Been a long time since seeing you, Judy, and I remember meeting Don long ago. I just remember that you were so happy together. Just so very sorry to hear of Don's death and such an early age. You and family must be devastated and I share your grief. I wish you all strength through the difficult memory-strewn times ahead.

The Sufi's call the day one die your Urs- your wedding day- the day you get to go be with the Beloved. If true, I would bet that Don is rejoicing in his reunion!

My best to you, Judy, old friend, and to Don's entire family...especially the kids. So sorry for this huge loss.

I just heard this evening from my ex Pat Kyne. Both Pat and myself thought a lot of Don. We were both shocked and saddened to hear about this. I pray your family finds the strength to deal with this loss. Don was definitely one of the good guys. God bless you all.

My last conversation with Don was about the loss of his Mother. The conversation turned to the loss of my Grandmother and how that effected me. It brought tears to my eyes... shortly thereafter Don came by my cubicle expressing how he appreciated my share and the sensitivity expressed. Don was a very private individual, but always engaged when approached with conversation. I ponder if there was more we could have done to enrich his experiance with life...

Dear Judy;

I just found out today about Don. You and your family have my deepest sympathy. He was by far the best engineer I have ever worked with. I have worked with him since 1981, he was and still is my friend, and I loved him. I was going to write a letter today but clouds got in my eyes.

If there is anything you need to help you through this loss, I'll be here for you, Don would have wanted it that way, he loved you sooo much.

You have my love and support always.

Mr. Seger will be truly missed. I remember his patient and gentle manner as he taught me how to play t-ball. I had glasses and an awful depth perception but he never gave up on me. He always encouraged me to keep trying even when it seemed like hitting the ball was impossible. A few days ago heaven received another angel. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mrs. Seger, Andy, Nick, Chris and Brian.

February 22, 2013

We are deeply saddened with the news of Don's death. We will remember your family in our thoughts and prayers. May you be blessed with wonderful memories of your family times together. We pray God will give you understanding and peace. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
