Don Harrell

I met Don in NYC around 1990 at a tumultuous time in my life. With his easy, steady disposition, he reassured me that life was going to turn out all right. And of course, it has. Don was a mentor and a dear friend, and I don't ever remember a time where I left him without a smile on each of our faces.

I'll miss the times sitting and catching up, or the walks, or the periodic jogs in Central Park when Don was able to run years ago.

My love to Chris, Jeremy and John - he...

I met Don and Chris through a mutual friend when I first moved to Houston in 1973 and they quickly became good friends. Don was so warm, so kind, so ethical and so blazingly intelligent that he inspired friendship and trust. I saw him and his family over the years in Little Rock, in Washington and then in New York, and it always seemed as if no time had elapsed between visits. But what I'm thinking about tonight are those days in Houston sitting around the table in the Harrell's wonderful old...

I met Don in 2010, and he has been a good friend and mentor ever since. I'm grateful for the memories.

Sending prayers of peace and strength. Don was not only a first cousin but also a life-long friend. He will be missed.
Love, John and Margi Harrell

May God provide comfort and solace to aching hearts as your beloved rest in peace.

When someone we love falls asleep in death the memories we have of them become our treasure, may those cherished memories of a life well lived and Gods promise at
John 6:40 bring you some comfort during this most difficult time. My condolences to the family.

Don was one of the kindest souls I have ever encountered. I knew him from my time working for Senator David Pryor. His voice was so calming. And the range of emotions Don could convey with his wonderful face without saying a word is something I will always remember.
