I'm so lost right now.. I have no words to express the sorrow I feel.. I don't know what I'm going to do without your services. R.I.P. my friend.. You will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Don's passing he has done my in-law's taxes for many years. I respected his professionalism at every appointment, as well as the adventurous stories he'd share when the taxes were done. My husband also has a Harley and loved to hear of Don's travels. God Bless his wife children and family. Heaven has gained a very decent human being!!!

I just heard the sad news today. Don will be truly missed especially during tax season. He prepared our taxes for years and it was always a pleasure to be in his presence. Rest well Don in the arms of the Lord. Praying God will give the family comfort and strength during this difficult time.

Just found out about Dons passing-What a profound loss this must be for his family. I see him once a year for 30 minutes but have always loved hearing about his adventures both on and off the bike! I will truly miss that and send my best to his family.

Called to make an appointment and was shocked to her the news. Don was a great man and had the pleasure of knowing him for over 25 as my CPA. Every year we'd catch up on life and things happening in life. 90% of the time it revolved about bikes and upcoming races. It was a pleasure to bring a different bottle of whiskey every year also and await his call with his review. Last year we spoke in depth about retirement as you wanted to travel more and spend more time with the family. I hope you got some time abroad before your passing.
You were great man Don and will be deeply missed by many in more ways than one. My condolences to the family.

I am absolutely shocked & saddened by the news of Don's passing! I like most of his clients missed his appointment letter & decided to call. I didn't have his office number on me & I did a google search. His obituary popped up & I immediately teared up! I will miss all the stories of his incredible family & his exciting travels. He was a great tax professional & an amazing man! He will be greatly missed! I wish his family peace & comfort!

I'm in tears right now to learn of his passing. I have known him since 1985. He was more than my tax accountant, he was a friend. I looked forward to our annual laughs together. I am so sorry for your loss. I am shocked and saddened by this news.

Same thing. Missed our letter and went to call for the appointment. Very shocked to hear. He was a great man, friend and financial adviser. He will definitely be missed.

I was just calling to schedule my tax appointment and was shocked to hear of Don's passing. Don has been doing our taxes for many years and he was a lifesaver to me after my husband died 7 years ago. I always enjoyed seeing Don to hear of his travels and adventures. We referred several people to Don over the years and everyone was so happy to have him handle their affairs. Don will be greatly missed. We want to express our sincere condolences to his wife and family. Don spoke very highly of his family and will be greatly missed.

We just learned of Don's passing. We missed his appointment letter and called today. He was our tax person since 2001. Our condolences go out to his Family and Friends. Don was the go to guy for both of us when it came to our finances and he made each one of our visits with him enjoyable and stress free. We loved hearing about the trips he went on the previous years and his love for the outdoors. I believe Don will be truly missed by everyone who has crossed paths with this brilliant man.

Sorry for your loss. Don had been our tax guy since 1995 such a great man. He knew of all my ups and downs and such a good heart. Always helping us and my parents too along the way. I liked seeing what he was up to with his travels or new toys. I Thank him most of all for convincing my husband that staying at home and being a mom would workout. Not in those words but by were the numbers had to be. My husband is a numbers guy too and he knew it. You were the best not only as a CPA but as a friend we always caught up even if it was only once a year. You will be missed dearly.
