Donald E. Lasater

He was a great man. I always enjoyed working for him. My sympathy to the family. Ernie Coe(retired Mercantiler)

Dear Kevin, Tim, Tom, Laura, & John,
My heart goes out to you and your families as you go through this transition. I remember your dad for his quiet kindness and his ability to create a feeling of steadfast calm in the midst of storms. He generously sent me off to college with $100 once. That gesture meant the world to a young woman on her own and inspires me to this day. A bright light has gone out with his passing. I hope you will find comfort in the legacy he's left behind. He may be...

Kevin, J.B. and other members of the Lasater family: So sorry to learn of your Dad's passing. He was a true gentleman and valued member of OWCC.

Heartfelt sympathy to Donald's family. He was a special man who shared so much with so many & will be missed.

Prayers and love to the Lasater family. We all grew up together and celebrate the life, yet mourn the loss, of your beloved dad, a St. Louis icon, and Southmoor Royalty. Respectfully yours,

Dear Lasaters,
Your Dad was one of my favorite Trustees at Washington U. He and Mary were always so gracious to me. You have my deepest sympathy. Harriet Switzer, former Board Secretary, WU (1980-2007).

Thoughts and prayers for Donald Lasaters family. Don was a loving man. I fondly remember him when I worked at Mercantile Trust Co. He was admired by many who knew him. He will be missed but we will meet again someday.

So sorry for your loss! Thinking about all of you. Wrote this about the grieving process.

Not Enough

We say we have so much of it
And yet it's not enough
To do, to say, to share our hearts
Or just the daily fluff.

And though we have the memories
To prove we won't forget,
We still allow ourselves to stop
And find time for regret.

If only we'd done this or that
Or not done that at all.
If only we had taken...
