I'm a former co-worker of Don and I must say that I enjoyed the limited time we spent together. He is truly missed. I learned a lot from Don and I am grateful to him for that. He was a very smart man and I always enjoyed our conversations as he could provide insight on just about anything. I feel blessed that I knew him.

We knew Donnie all his life.Due to both of our family's working, we were not able to spend as much time with him as we would have liked. As a child he was a caring loving person and as a man turned into the most hard working person I've ever seen. Since Jo & I have retired we were able to visit with Donnie and Candy more often. We treasure those visit's. We love him very much and miss him. Uncle Kermit, Aunt Jo

Don was my beloved husband of 40+ years. I miss him so much. He is with the Lord in Heaven now, free from the pain of cancer. He was a kind & gentle man who loved the Lord & his family. 2006 was a fabulous year for him. He spent alot of time with his parents. We took our grandsons Winston & Sammy on a 10 day trip to Billings, Mt. to vist our oldest son Don III & wife Terri & grandchildren Dean (Don IV)& Ellen. Saw the reenactment of Custer's last stand & other historical things. Don loved to fish but in 2006 he was able to take his grandsons Winston & Sammy fishing fulfilling a lifelong dream. He was known at work for his integrity, easy manner, smile, & going the extra mile to get any job done. Don will be missed by his parents Don & Jessie, sons Don III & Steve, & grandchildren Winston, Sammy, Dean (Don IV), & Ellen, & of course all who knew him. He will live in my heart until I join him in Heaven. Love, Candy

I didn't get to know Don very well until we worked together on a substation project. He definitely knew his stuff and quietly made sure things were done right. I was not aware of his illness and passing until I called his extension 12/22 and got the news.
I know how hard it is to lose someone at Christmas. Our hearts go out to you. Don will be missed.

My sincere sympathy for a most respected co-worker and friend. Don was such an example to all of us who knew him. His brilliant mind, his compassionate nature and his dedication to the job at hand will be a lasting legacy to all who knew him. May God Bless his loving family and may Don rest in peace.

With warmest regards,
