I worked at Alden Products the same Don did. He had a unique personality. Always in a positive light. Don had a sense of humor that was contagious. Always a smile on his face. He will always be remembered as warm and compassionate.

Don was my favorite boss ever. He hired me back in 1988 at then Alden Products. He was a mentor, a gentleman and a friend.
My heart goes out to his family whom he always had nice stories to share. I will miss him.
Rest in peace my friend, you deserve it.
