My thoughts and prayers are with all Don’s family. I have very fond memories of Don and Adeline growing up as a child and later in life at family get togethers with them and our families (The Lords, Tindells, Taylors and others). Don was a wonderful man to be around and always such a joy to talk to and laugh with. He will be missed by all of us. May the Lord give his family peace and strength through these times of grief and sorrow. Love and prayers to all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the extended Hurd family. We knew Don through his son Gary who has been a loving part of our family for over 30 years. We met Don and Adeline on our visits over from Louisiana. They were always warm and welcoming. They are together now in a wonderful, peaceful place.

Mr Hurd was a co worker to me at St Johns Co School District. He was very good at his position and was always so helpful. I enjoyed working with him and
know him. May God bless you and your
family in this time of sorrow. Deepest Sympathy and Prayers.

Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss. Don was a wonderful boss and friend and I enjoyed all the years we spent together. We lost track over the last couple of years and I am deeply saddened to have read of his passing. A truly wonderful man. I will cherish all the fond memories I have of working with him. My prayer and thoughts are will you all.

Our condolences to the family. Prayers for all during this difficult time and the long period of adjustment. Faith, prayers and strength will carry you through. Worked with Don at Marineland for many years and saw the attraction grow during the 1960s and 1970s.
