Not sure what to say?

Don was one of the finest gentleman I have ever known. His smiling face and voice inspired many people including me.
We had a lot of good times together, professionally and on the golf course.
I still miss him

Jan, So sorry to hear about Don's death. Joy sent me information so I could read his obituary. He sure led a wonderful life. I am glad you had so many years together. I know you have many great memories that will sustain you through the years. Take care. Sharon

Dear Jan & Family,
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss of Don. I shall remember forever the time we spent with each other

Don was a great friend!

We played a lot of golf together over the years, and unfortunately, I had not seen Don in a number of years after his retirement.

I credit Don with starting the Critical Access Hospital Program nationally as well as for the State of Kansas.

He saved a number of rural hospitals from closing by this single accomplishment.

Rest in Peace Don - and some day I hope we can hit the links again in a better place!

Jan, I am so sorry to hear of Don’s passing. My parents so enjoyed their “Iowa” connection with both of you. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Dear Jan and Family,
We were deeply saddened to learn of Don's passing. Don was a true gentleman and an asset to the Kansas and Topeka communities in so many ways. He will be missed. Don made the world we live in a better place in so many ways. His life of service is certainly to be admired and emulated. Please take comfort in your many good memories of Don and a life truly and fully well-lived. And please accept our sincerest condolences!
