Don was a great flight instructor for me when I was a flight student at VT6 and then I had the distinction to fly with him at the Reddogs in Marietta, GA. Your kind, calm and jovial demeanor will be deeply missed. Semper Fidelis my brother in arms!!

I meet Don at Flight Saftey International while training on the Citation Sovereign. We were by chance paired up for simulator training. By the end of the 3rd day we were flying great together, singing songs in the cockpit and having a great time. Don was bigger than life, an amazing human being and just all around good guy. I know he will be with me on every flight. God Bless Don, Rest In Peace.

It is with great sorrow that I read of the passing of your dear Don. My dad spoke of his namesake often, and with great pride. It is a shame that we were not closer as a family, but I do have fond memories of those few visits we cousins had. I am sending up prayers for peace and comfort for the family while you mourn his passing and celebrate his life.
