Barbara and I extend our deepest sympathies to the family for the sudden loss of Don. As classsmates in Branford and during our post graduation years, I have geatly valued my contacts with Don for Yale and class activities. Don was always a warm, wise and very humane leader and friend. As in all his endeavors Don enriched the fellowship of the class of 1962 by his leadership and dedication.

Dear Marnie,

I was desolated to hear of Don's tragic and untimely passing. He was a good friend, with whom I shared many memories and experiences. I will miss him very much.

Let me try to recall some small parts of the extraordinary life of this man who meant so much to all of us.

The absolute center of Don’s existence was his partnership with his wife, Marnie. We weep that their union has been dissolved by death, a death very hard to accept - an early and unexpected death, but fortunately for Don a peaceful death. Those of us who were fortunate enough to be at Don and Marnie’s wedding could...

It was sad to read of Don' s passing. A person with an active and interesting live. My best to his family. I have an obsure family connection to Don through a relationship to WBWB.
