Hello my name is Donovan Ray January and Donald was my Great Uncle,I never met him but did talk to him on the phone once and he was so nice and was giving me pointers on my golf swing,I wish I could of met him in person,Any family of his please feel free to reach out to me

I enjoyed watching Mr. January in Phoenix and at the Senior tournament in Albuquerque. He was always a gentleman and a fine golfer. There were many great golfers from Texas. An I lived in Lampasas one time. Rest in peace Mr. January

My dad Warren Higgins played with him in High School. He made my dad rise to be a better player. My dad used to talk fondly of those early days. He was so proud of his later success in golf.

An excellent golfer and one of the most respected players by his fellow golfers. He gave so much to the game of golf and will be missed by many. I saw him play here in New Orleans. Thoughts and prayers to his family. Adele Knauer

Prayers for his family, He and Pat were so much fun Enjoyed watching him play golf when I was young

I was lucky enough to have worked for Don January for almost two years as his caddie on the PGA golf tour from August 1977 through June of 1979. I was in my mid twenties, young and impressionable and he was in his late forties, a perfect gentleman and role model. Every day of those two years that I worked for Don January he showed me how a successful, accomplished professional should act, on and off the golf course. Thanks for the memories, Don. You helped me to become successful in life.

I used to go watch Don at the 3M in Blaine, Mn and was AMAZED at how he hit the ball in his 80's.....while waiting on a tee, I said to him "Don, I used to watch you in the St. Paul Open when I was a kid, and you're longer now". He said, "it's the equipment and ball today". I said, "I've got that stuff, and it doesn't make any difference". Don said, "You've got to have some hate in you, boy" and I said, "Are you telling me I have to get mad before I hit the ball, as I'm always mad after I hit...
