Don was an institution in the Miami Valley. His knowledge of the clark county sporting world was unmatched. He lead the Springfield H.S. hall of fame committee for years with his input and insight. The old timers in the area will never forget his infectious personality. Prayers to Mark and his family.

Condolences to the family. I was the head football coach at Troy High School in the 70's. Had Don many times officiating our game. Definitely a great official but even a better person. Loved him as an official and as a sporting goods representative.
