Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry for your loss, your father was one of the first people I met at UVM as a freshman and being a cradle Episcopalian, he helped me adjust to college life and I loved attending his services all through college. He was such a wonderful priest. Blessings, Janet Mansfield

My sincere condolences to the family.

Dear Marchia & Family:
We are saddened to hear of Don's passing. He was the first preacher we heard at St. Paul's when we first moved to Burlington some thirty years ago. He was sweet, loving, kind, and full of humor - which at first blush did not show thorugh his sometimes "stern" apparence and straight forward demenor.
He definately "grew" on you! Both you and he were extremely kind to to us and our family during your tenure at St. Paul's and we are greatrful for your pastoral care...

Don, I'm truly sorry to hear of your father's passing. I will remember his kindness and his dry sense of humor.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family,
Jon

The Diocese of Vermont has lost a fine intelligent, learned and great-hearted priest, who strove to promote the best in the Anglican tradition. Philip Ambrose

Don was chaplain at UVM when I was a student there. His sermons were wonderful--and he introduced me to the theology of "West Side Story." We were both on the committee that dealt with the design for the Rock Point Conference Center after the old Institute building had burned down. When a "portable altar" was suggested, he said, "The idea of a portable Axis Mundi is absolutely ridiculous." Clearly, he was one of the great ones.
