Don Argo

Message to My Husband

You never asked me to marry you, you just told me that's how it would be. At first, that was the farthest thing from my mind. We seemed like such an unlikely couple. But as time passed, I began to learn who you were. As we spent more time together, a very strong affinity developed between us, and we became inseparable. We were no longer happy nor complete when we were apart.

After our marriage, we began a long adventure roaming the country on our...

Mrs. Argo and family: My family and I send our deepest sympathy for your loss.

Don taught me Trig, and Calculus at BCC in the late seventies. In the years since we ran into each other several times including at my graduation from Rollins College. He always impressed me and never forgot who I was, calling me by name every time we met after the classroom experience. The last timeI saw him was at the book store on Merritt Is Mall. I was hoping he was still teaching, as my grandson was...

Oh, Don Argo - You and you family will always be among my very favorite people in the world. Every time I saw you all out & about, it made my day. Your spirit, and kindness will always remain in my heart. You always had such kind words to me about my Father - I hope you two are having a grand old time up there. Thank you for making my life happier, just by knowing you.

And Kathy, Sean & Shaara - I love you all, and my thoughts & prayers are with you.

Dr. Argo,
My life is much richer for having known you. Having been in your math classes, I've learned much more than math. Your many pearls of wisdom you shared are forever a part of me. Thank you.

We'd like to express our condolences to the Argo family. We just met Don a few years ago after Edith's husband Charles found a pic of our great-uncle Mills with Mills Olcott Burnham, the first keeper of Canaveral Light. We became quite interested in the history of the Light and its' keepers. We then met Don through Lighthouse events. He was a brilliant and delightful man. We'll both miss him a lot. God bless you all.
Edith & Christine McCune

Dr. Argo,

You were indeed the greatest math teacher I ever had! I am so lucky that I have been able to be a part of not only your life, but your beautiful daughter Shaara, son Sean and wife Kathy. I will always remember the smiles and laughs we have shared and the mathamatical humor you always seemed to "zing" me with. Thank you for always supporting me in my acting and singing and saying "Bravo!" after every performance you saw me in. I will miss you dearly!!!!!!

Always and...

Dear Don,

I was first introduced to you by television. I caught some of your math class telecasts about 13 years ago when I first arrived in Florida. You were interesting, methodical, and effective as a professor. You re-taught me some math skills I had forgotten decades ago.

Then, perhaps a year later at a Space Coast Writer’s Guild meeting in Cocoa, I was thrilled to be introduced to you. Here you were in person. You were warm, friendly, and even more interesting than on TV....

To Don,
It has been wonderful knowing you for so long-since I was a little girl and you were friends with my father, Harvey Jackson. You always made me laugh! I will miss you. Loved your book and it was great to see you when you came by the house to gather info for it. You're spirit carries on in all of those you have touched.

I worked with Don many years at BCC. Now as I work with many other learning institutions throughout the states, I always get a chance to brag about how BCC’s Dean of Math, a genius in his own right, always knew when I made a special breakfast casserole and came across campus looking for it. Then making sure I read his Canaveral Light…which kept me glued to my chair as I finished it in one night. I and many will miss him dearly. My heartfelt sympathy to his family and colleagues.
