Donald E. Gardner

Dr. Gardner hired me at the EPA and had a positive influence on me as I began a 38 year long career with the EPA.

I knew Don at St. Peters. He was an amazing man with a mischievous spirit who radiated good humor. He had such a strong personality, that it is hard to believe he is gone. I will miss the twinkle in his eye and the upbeat greeting he gave when he saw you. We were out of town at the time of the funeral. May a peace that is beyond understanding surround you.

Elly, We were out of town and just saw that splendid obituary for Don. We send our heartfelt
symphony in the lost of your husband and an extraordinary man.. man. In the earlier years, whenever we had any contact with Don, he was always so gracious , so understanding. And, of course, his contributions to his profession were simply outstanding. We have appreciated your keeping us in touch, even though we have't always been so responsive. Our best...

I offer my condolences to the Gardner family. I worked with Don at Northrop/ManTech for a number of years. As Edith Bunker would sing "those were the days". I pray for peace and comfort to all of you during this time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with family as you mourn this loss and celebrate his wonderful life; what a difference he made while here on earth!

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. He will be truly missed as a patient and friend. Dr. Mark Dye & Staff
