I do continue to think of Don, always very fondly. He was a good friend, a loyal co-U.M. alum, a good law partner. Thanks for sending this reminder of him. It brought back good memories.

Dear Barbara: I was very sad to learn of Don's passing. As a fraternity brother, fellow classmate at U of M and Harvard Law School, he was always friendly, accessible and helpful. I was at your wedding. You were a wonderful couple. Don was genuinely brilliant and carried it modestly. He was a happy and complete man, one of the best men I have known. I am sorry for your loss.

Barbara and family, my most sincere condolences on your loss. For me, Don was a terrific law partner, friend, co-U.Michigan alum and all-around good guy. In these most recent years, he bore his illness with the courage and sense of humor that was so characteristic of him. All of us will miss him very much.
