I did not know Captain Scherer, but upon reading his obituary, it is clear to me he was an extraordinary man. The world was lucky to have him.

Uncle Don was like a second father to me. I was proud of him and his accomplishments, and my wife, Linda and I were very clos3e to him. deeply missed. Likewise his wife, Arline. We plan to attend his funeral in Washington. He also gave us a tour of naval ships in San Diego.

One of my fondest memories of my Uncle Don
was when I went to San Francisco with my
parents & my brother Dick. Uncle Don was
stationed there & showed us such a wonderful time. He took us on a tour of a
submarine & the huge aircraft carrier The
Enterprise. Wow--that ship was impressive! I'll never forget that day.
Uncle Don was the greatest! He'll be missed. Love, Barbara Baker

Our Uncle Don lived a full life. Our mother was Aunt Arline's younger sister. We always looked forward to visiting and being with him on fishing trips and family dinners. He was always cheerful, quick-witted and supportive. One of our good memories is the fishing trip off Point Loma when a huge whale surfaced along side Don's boat, scaring all of us except Uncle Don who saw humor in the moment. We will miss him! Love, Bob and Bev Wadmam
