Mr. Branch was in charge of air cargo when I went to work for Delta in September 1972. What a blessing to have known him and worked for him.

So very sad to hear of Don's passing. I have been a neighbor across the street since '91. I will always have fond memories of him, he was so welcoming with a great smile and warm heart every time I saw him.
May God bless you and hold close your wonderful memories of him to comfort you at this time.

I eventually joined a band called Gunpoint in which Mr. Branch's son,...

Don was a friend of my dad, Gene Crittenden, at Emeritus. He was such a happy, friendly man who always had a big smile whenever I saw him. He was so sweet to me the day my dad passed away in February. I am sorry for your family's loss.

Don was a good friend and a wonderful person.
He could always put a smile on my face by just talking to him. We should all strive to be as fine a human as Don.
