Not sure what to say?

Don encouraged me to get land certified yrs ago. I'm glad he did as it has served me well. Don was an awesome mentor to me for many years. A wonderful man with a huge heart who would stop what he was doing to help a client or agent. I am sad to know he's not with us anymore. He will be missed by all of those who knew Don. An accomplished musician, a lover of cars and of course Real Estate, mostly land, Don had a contagious laugh that will be missed. My deepest sympathy to his family.

Don was not only our lead land instructor and a complete professional, but a personal friend as well. He always had a laugh with that sonorous voice, and a smile. I am missing him already.

I enjoyed working with Don at West USA. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. He will be missed.

I enjoyed being with Don in the Phoenicians. He loved to learn new things and visit the places we went. He was always friendly to everyone he met. I'll miss him.

Please accept our deepest sympathies. Don was a great man and will be remembered fondly.
