Don was an incredible man who truly made the world a better place by his work, character, love of family and the force of his personalty. I shall miss him terribly!

What a loss. I was a classmate of Don's in Salem High School and always knew he would go far in whatever he chose to do.
God Bless him and his family.

Sorry to hear of Don's passing. We knew each other from Jr. High , classmates, and team mates.

What sad news. Don and I lived in the same neighborhood all through school as kids. He was not only the smartest person I ever met, but one of the nicest as well. Always able to think outside the box, and always the best at everything he did.

Jonathan Edwards College at Yale mourns the loss of one of Yale's most distinguished chemists and one of JE's most distinguished graduates and fellows. As the current head of the college I pay tribute to Don's wisdom, counsel and generosity over many years. Something big has gone out of the world with his loss.

Don was on my mind quite often since I left Yale. He was very bright and very caring. He was my model on how to interact with my students. I would like to take this opportunity to connect with my old acquaintances; my email is [email protected].

Dearest Don
You hold a very special place in my heart. I learned so much while working in your lab during my graduate studies. I am in awe with your numerous groundbreaking scientific discoveries.

Don's intellect and his compassion for his students are fondly remembered by all of us who were lucky enough to work with him. Rest in peace, Don.
