Not sure what to say?

I knew Don through Bert Kelly during my years in Williamsburg and Newport News. Like his father, Don had a wonderfully gregarious, larger than life personality. I can still hear his infectious laugh to this day. There was never a dull moment when Don was around. I was impressed and admiring when he jumped in to run the family business after his father's untimely death. Don will be missed.

I loved him. He was and is my sister , Cynthia's husband. He loved her dearly as he did his children and grandchildren. Until we meet again, water friend. Enjoy fishing with Charlie.

Cindy and family, So very sorry for your loss.

My sincere condolences to the Cochran family on the passing of Don. Don was a classmate of mine while we were attending the Marshall-Wythe School of Law. I remember Don as witty and studious. rest in peace my friend.

My daddy, Pete Pierce, worked for Don for years. He loved his job and the man he worked for. When dad got sick with cancer, Don was an amazing support to our entire family. We will never forget the care and compassion, nor all of the good years that dad had with him. Our condolences to the entire family.

Very sad....so sorry for the family. Sounds like he was a wonderful man.

I remember Don with fondness as we went through Marshall Wythe Law School at William and Mary. He enjoyed life and was a friend. I send my condolences to his family and prayers for their hearts to heal. DeRonda Short
