Don Vargo

Karen and Family,

I knew Don years ago at Georgia State and after he started his first job which I have now learned became his lifelong career. I was shocked to see Don's smiling face at the front of the Metro Section. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Don was a great man and continued that in life. I was honored to know him and thoroughly enjoyed his energy and zest for life. I am happy that he continued to impact others and share himself with so many. I know he will...

We're going to miss you Coach Don Vargo. You helped introduce so many people, including me, to Spinning, heart rate training, and triathlons. I'll never forget the impact you made on my life - which his been shared with so many others. You've finished your race now, congratulations!

Karen and Family:
When I think of the wonderful experiences I had at the Fowler/Peachtree Corners YMCA, I think of Don and Karen Vargo. Don was a wonderful friend, and defined my perception of the warm and welcoming community that defined the "Y". Don was a wonderful role model and friend, from his dedication and concern for others and the community, to the way in which the two of you raised your children. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. God bless you. Don will be missed, but...

Karen: We were so very saddened to learn of Don's passing and how much you all must have suffered this past year.Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.We have truly missed seeing your smiling faces at the YMCA-always,always upbeat and positive.

Karen, I have been out of touch with the Fowler YMCA community for some time now and was shocked to hear of Don's passing at Mary Our Queen church tonight. I am so sorry for your loss and thankful to have had the opportunity to know Don. I enjoyed the fitness classes I took with you and Don and appreciate you sharing your lives and athletic talents with us so that we may better ourselves. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. God bless you.

Karen:

I'm so sad to hear of Don's passing. He was truly one the great guys. What a wondeful athlete and what a great sport. He was always so gracious and humble, especially when you placed at one of my events and he didn't! One of my favorite memories of Don was running the Atlanta Half with him and my son. All my best to you and your family.
