I knew Don when I worked at Trillium Place in Sales and Marketing and we were friends. When I went back to visit I saw him sometimes and he was always so happy to see me and he made me feel like he really missed seeing me on a regular basis. I was sad to hear of Don's passing but am glad he didn't have a prolonged illness. I wanted all of you to know how much he meant to me and I will certainly miss him. My thoughts and prayers are for your strength, peace and comfort. Take care

Dear Towson family - I just heard of Uncle Don's passing and wished to send our condolences. My sister, Peggy Rotroff Augustus Coleman, called to tell me and said she'd told Mom - I'll call Mom shortly with the funeral information though I doubt that she'll be able to attend.
Again - Jack and I send our sincere sympathies - Uncle Don's in a better place and with Aunt Lorayne again so we hope you can take some comfort in that realization.
Sincerely - Jack and Laura Rotroff Williams
