I had the pleasure of learning clarinet and saxophone from Mr. Cantwell. He passed on his passion and love of playing to me and I´m very thankful I was able to learn from him. I´m very sorry to hear that he has passed away, my thoughts are with his family.

I previously played clarinet with Don in the Floyd band and was always inspired by his talents. My friend Kathy Baldwin took lessons with him and spoke very highly of him. I am so saddened to hear of his passing and I hope his legacy can live on to inspire future musicians. My heart is with his family and loved ones as they celebrate a life well lived.
