I was a close childhood friend of Don's - walking to grade school together, playing sandlot sports, trading baseball cards, and participating in high school as a founding member of the Sultan's of Swing, a dance band Don spearheaded and led.

I have fond memories of those years and high regard for Don's successful subsequent career as a CPA. He will be missed by many. My very sincere condolences to Peggy and his family.

My sincerest condolences to Mr. Shaw's family. Mr. Shaw was a great man. He developed his numerous employees both professionally and personally. I especially enjoyed listening to Don's speeches regarding his career experiences and his knowledge of history. He will truly be missed! May you rest in peace, Mr. Shaw.

It is with great sadness that I bid farewell to another high school classmate and friend. While I knew that Don had not been well, it was still a shock. With sincere condolences to his family, Alan Hackel
