I am sad that I have to write this but I am not sad that I had the pleasure of knowing you and Don. I will forever smile when I think of the concerts and your togetherness with Don. Please come back to Ameristar and see the people that miss your face and Don's. I hope to see you in the future.

Dear Sandy,
I was so sad to hear of Don's passing. I just loved talking to both of you. Don was such a help to me when I lost my dad, and I appreciated his kindness so very much. My thoughts are with you.

Don and Sandy have been great friends from the time he started with TWA. Part of our mutual intersest lies in the fact that Don and my father were both from the same area of New Orleans. Don was always encouraging to me and my flying interests. One time he gave me a small box of "nuts and bolts" and said "Keep these in your airplane - you'll need them some day" - and I did. He will certainly be missed a lot.

Sandy,
Joni and I are so saddened to hear of Don's passing. We had such good times in New York at the apartment and through the years especially on the Copper Canyon RV trip. He was truly a very unique and special person and perhaps the very best pilot I have had the honor to fly with in my TWA career.

Don was always a bright light in everyone's day. We all adored him here at Ameristar and our prayers and thoughts are with your family. He was a gift to everyone he met.

Have no idea what compelled me to read this obituary, but I did.
I did not know your husband/father.
However, I really wish I had known him.
What a wonderful tribute from his family. He had to be very special
Hold him in your hearts.

I met Don when I worked for Kramer and Crouse Cardiology. He was always a kind and caring gentleman. May you always be comforted by your memories and speak of him often, to each other. My deepest sympathy - Debra
