I had the pleasure of working with Don. He was a gentle man, concerned about the people that surrounded him, a wonderful person at work, and a great manager. He will be sorely missed.

To Don J. Float's Family,
I had the pleasure of briefly working with Don at SAIC. He was a very nice man and incredibly smart. I enjoyed my short time working with him very much and sure he will be missed and remembered by many friends and co-workers at SAIC.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all as I know this has been a very difficult and painful couple of years.

My sympathy is extended towards everyone. Regretfully has been a hard two years for the Float family. I Wish I could pay my respect to Don in person, unfortunately I am not able to.

You and Your Family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Rest In Peace Don J Float.
