Dr. Donald Francis Addison

Still thinking about you and all the ways you added to make Chemeketa community college a better place. You were one of the most accepting, tranquil, and empathetic people I have ever met, and you are sorely missed by Faculty, Staff, and Students alike.

Beloved Don, What a gracious gift you have been in my life. A song in my heart still sings praise for your gifts you shared so willingly. Blessing's to you in the Kingdom.

I will never forget Donald. We shared a love for animals. I transported Donald when I worked for Ride Source. We always talked about his cat and my dogs. I was fortunate to be a friend of his. He holds a special place in my heart. He passed on my Birthday and on that day and many days each year I think of him. Prayers to his family.

Dr. Addison was an incredible and inspirational teacher and friend. He was my teacher and my wife's co-worker at LCC. It was a blessing to know him on campus and off. We both had a love for Native Languages, adored collies, cats, and cultural stories. He was the definition of kindness and fullness of spirit. We will miss him greatly. His integrity and charisma will live on through his students, friends and family. Tóka akhé, Dr. Addison.

My daughter Emily and I took your Cultural Anthropology course together and I still say it was the most interesting course at LCC. You blessed many. You are truly Led by the Light.

May Thy servant of Baha'u'llah consort for eternity with Thy chosen ones, Thy saints and Thy Messengers in heavenly places.

I pray that this servant of Baha'u'llah may consort with Thy chosen ones, Thy saints and Thy Messengers in heavenly places that the pen cannot tell nor the tongue recount.

Beloved Don; I send you prayers of love and peaceful drumming. Baha'u'llah will greet you as his most shining star. Your friend, Carol Ann Adams
