Read MoreMy mother Alison met Don and Ken on board a ship travelling to New York in the 1950s - they remained close friends throughout their lives and were marvellous company and superb artists. We miss seeing them very much, Fionagh and Robert,

Not many people know this but one of Don's first jobs out of college was working with the Raymond Loewy Company in catalog layout and packaging design - how cool is that? Don (and his partner of 60 plus years, Ken) were full of stories of a rich and well lived life. We all should be so lucky. Josimar and I miss you both and wish you fair winds and following seas - always. xxoxx Carl-

I enjoyed my walks with Don. Loved his smile. Miss him.
Don had a flair for verbal understatement. At a dinner party, Don's beloved Ken was describing some experience they shared that took place over 50 years earlier. Don proclaimed, "That's NOT how it happened." Well, the Bombay Sapphire was flowing and Ken escalated. It soon became an explosive quarrel. Eventually things calmed down. Don then looked at Ken and said, "You were in a snit that day!"

Very sad at hearing the news- Don's work has impressed me for years and I am proud to have some of his works in my collection.
He will be missed

Don grew up with my husband, RIchard Roxburgh, his first. Cousin,in their grandmother's home in Chicago. They were very close and shared many wonderful memories of that time. I learned to enjoy his work, and will miss our conversations on the telephone. I send my love to all those who share this loss. He will long be remembered for his wonderful art work.

Don Stoltenberg was an incredible teacher who encouraged students to experiment and seek their visual voice.
Thank you Don.
