Don was my aunt Mildred's son. He had many special qualities and one thing was his art work. He made all his Christmas cards each year and Dave and I have saved them all, they were lovely. It was a real gift.

Grant and I remember Don and Carmen very fondly. They were a devoted couple, and Don was a devoted scholar of criminal justice.

My hero! My father❤

My first real job was in the Sociology front office when Don was Department Head. He took me along when he moved to the Criminal Justice Ph.D. program to work on the juvenile diversion project. I feel so fortunate to have worked with Don during my "formative" years. I learned so much from him. I am so sorry for your loss.
