Not sure what to say?

Don was a treasured friend from kindergarten to the present. He'll be greatly missed, but the memories of many wonderful adventures together remain

Patty and I will always miss Don. He was one of the nicest people we have ever know.

I miss Don already very much. He was a great friend and an important link to my late husband, Gerry O'Neill. We shared memories few people have together.
Don had a zest for life and showed great courage to the end.

Don was a friend and mentor who, many years ago, taught me much of what I now know to be important things in physics, and in life.

Don shared our home when he was in New Mexcio for his tour of duty at Milagro. He always brough joy and delightful conversation to our table and is greatly missed.

Lovely memories of being taught about the stars by Don during many trips to Meeker Park, Colorado; he was one of a kind!

To A. Heather and Gwen,

May your memories give you strength

We miss Don after many years of sharing: science, nature, projects, humor... A great friend!
