Donald Raymond Carmody

Don Carmody graduated from the University of Missouri Law School the year after I did and then came to work with my father, John Hanlon, and me at Sumner, Hanlon & Sumner. Don became a lawyer for all the right reasons. The firm that he founded with Leo MacDonald had a great ethos. Anytime I asked Don to do some pro bono work for someone in need, he either did it or found someone to do it for me.

I loved Donny, from the moment I met him in 1964 at MU Law School, to the times we had together with my father's firm, Sumner, Hanlon and Sumner, to the times he represented me in a business venture after that, to the times he helped people I sent to him who couldn't afford a fee or a full fee, to the times we had lunch together during the last few years when he tried to convince me that I could recover from being a recovering Catholic.

Dear Pat. Sharon and l wish My prayers and condolences are with Pat and Don´s family. He was my friend and I enjoyed our law firm at Summer Hanlon & Summer for many years. I will always miss all of my law friends especially Don & Leo McDonald who also recently passed away. Sorry I couldn´t attend Don´s funeral. I retired from my law practice one year age and Sharon and l moved our home in DesPeres to a Condo in Eureka, Mo. to be near our my four (healthy) children and eight grandchildren. ...

My heart goes out to Don's family. Don was one of the best guys around: generous, kind and a true follower of Christ. I will be praying for him and the whole family.

I know that the life that he lived had to have made Jesus Christ proud! I can hear the Holy Spirit of the lord say well done thy good and faithful servant!

So sorry to hear of Dons passing. He was one of a kind and was loved by all who knew him

Our condolences to the Carmody family on the passing of Don. He was a friend and, much more, an outstanding human being. Anyone who knew Don was blessed by his presence and by his persona. Heaven just gained a great one.

Sending condolences to all of the Carmody family.

Don was a truly honorable man who put his Christian faith into practice everyday. He conducted all of his relationships in the most professional manner while at the same time demonstrating true empathy for other people. He always offered words of encouragement to others, and with his great sense of humor lifted the hearts of many. I am grateful for his support of our efforts to promote and preserve Christian principles and family values in our state. I will miss this very kind-hearted man.
