May the God of all comfort and peace give the family peace and strength to endure. Psalm 121:1-3

What a great guy, meet him at Sitka EMT classes years ago, even as a student he had sessions going over things to help understand things better, lung sounds etc. great dedication, the best of them.

Jean so sorry for your loss. May the rainbows of life give you comfort and help in healing. Betty Kuller Benison

I was saddened to hear of Don's passing. He was a man of many accomplishments and certainly his community benefitted tremendously from his presence. My memory of him, though, is that of a very kind man who was always there with a kind word and ready to help out when it was needed. RIP, Don, and condolences to his family and his dear friends in Seward and beyond.

I was saddened to hear of Don's death. Don and Jean provided a huge service to their community, the region, and the state, through their work in emergency medical services. Many of us benefited from Don's experience, wisdom, and kindness. He was an unforgettable character I can still recall his voice and laugh many years after spending time with him. Don was a good man who left the world a better place. My heart goes out to Jean in this difficult time.

Jean nd family, I remember his great spirit and his love to help in his many ways, I am Teresa Ellis but I am Capt Jack and Iris Johnsons daughter and knew Don while I lived in Seward at different times and always said hi to Don whenever I saw him in town. May he rest in peace and may God bless you and give you peace at this time of loss.

Jean, I worked with Don when I was living in Seward., from 1979-1984. He was a good friend and I know you'll miss him. Praying for you and family.
