DONALD I. EIDEMILLER

I miss the backyard BBQs and always will.

My favorite professor ever! A huge personality who made learning fun.

Dear Eidemiller family,
I cannot express my sorrow and sympathy in the right words to do you and Don justice. I have been out of touch for many years, yet still hold both Don and Roberta fondly in my memories as two of the nicest and most caring individuals in our community. Don will be sorely missed and my love and thoughts go with you, Roberta. I love you both.

Dear Eidemiller family,
What a beautiful summary of the life of a remarkable man! Thank you Marilyn for taking the time to call me and tell me of your father's passing. I look forward to hearing about his celebration of life service when you return to San Diego. With love, Paula

Don and I grew in Normal heights near the earlier San Diego State. He was paper boy for us. and I have kept aware of him right up to a Recent Super Bowl Party with him as bartender! Oh what memories! Perhaps I should mention that Don was almost three years younger than me and his last day on earth was one of my five...

I learned last night that Don had died—Harvey Vogel emailed me. My dad, Robert W. Richardson, taught Geography at State (in Harvey's photo, he's seated between Harvey and Jim Taylor, three to the right of Don), so I knew Don from long ago. I did my freshman year at State ('61-'62) and took Physical Geography from Harvey my first semester. I spent countless hours in his office, shared by Don, taking up too much of his time with foolish things such as fretting about my girlfriend (and future...

Don, i can't believe you're gone. we spent three years (1960-63) as office mates and they are as vivid as if it was yesterday. our NSF field trips in the summer were much fun. my sincerest condolences to Roberta and the family. i miss you.

Don contributed much to the collage area community as he did the university. It was my privilege to work with him on the CACC.

Sympathetic thoughts to the family of one of my favorite teachers at S.D. State College in the late 50's. Glad to read he traveled the world.
