Not sure what to say?

I worked with Don for many years. A very talented,dependable,associate.
Don had a great sense of dry humor and was a steady positive influence which helped all of us get through our work day. Very much a privilege to have known this man. All my love to the Family.

Don was a great friend who went out of his way to help our family in our time of need. We enjoyed visiting him in Maine and going sailing with him shortly after he moved there. We kept in touch with him over the years and we want to express our deep sympathy to his family on his passing and we trust that he is in heaven now where there is no more sorrow and no more tears. God bless you and comfort you and encourage you! Carl and Marketa Kittrell and Family

I had the privilege of working for over 15 years and considered him a friend. After he retired and moved to Maine we kept in touch, the last time being Christmas 2020. I wish to express my sympathy to his family for you loss.

Brian and I met Don through Alaska Pipe and Supply. He kept all of us laughing with his work antics and crazy stories. We kept in touch through the years and we enjoyed hearing about his sailing adventures. We will miss our dear friend. Brian and I are so sorry for your loss.
