Not sure what to say?

Genevieve, Matthew and the Mabey family,

I first met Don in the Federal Building in the late 70's when I was in pursuit of a particular 7.5 minute quad. Upon learning that I shared a class or two with his son, i remember that he encouraged me to study hard and have fun!

We are thinking of you and are sorry for your loss.

Regards,

Randy

Genevieve,
Don was one of my heros. I loved talking with him and he listened and spoke well. He explained geophysics with ease to me, a USGS geologist.

We send our deep sympathies at your loss. We hope the reception will revive many fond memories to celebrate the rich life Don led, and his many contributions.

Don was a true gentleman and an outstanding contributor to the geological and geophysical sciences during a long career. He was certainly an inspiration to me. Sincere condolences to Genevieve and the rest of the family.
