I worked with Don at CDC NIOSH for his last 2-3 years working before retirement. He was always pleasant, joking and smiling. It was a pleasure to work with him. I am sorry yo learn of his passing.

For a brief time, I had the pleasure of working with Don.
He was generous in his support of his colleagues, and a friend to all. May God's peace be a comfort during this difficult time.

My condolences to the family. He was a wonderful man and great colleague. He had a great smile and his sense of humor was infectious. We met when the two of us started at CDC together and remained friends from then on. The 2 of us are on the front row of the EIS class of 1991 picture.

I can't remember ever seeing Don without a huge smile on his face. His happiness was infectious. He always had a kind word on his lips and a good tune at his fingers. We will miss him. Sending love and sympathy to Meredith and all of his family and friends.
