Don was my supervisor at Amoco/BP when I was a very inexperienced team leader. His patience, coaching and guidance was valued then and will always be appreciated.

Don and I were good friends in college and we attended several classes together. He went to work for Amoco and I went to work for Conoco. It is unfortunate we lost touch with each other after college, especially working in the same industry. I am truly sorry for your loss. Don was a great friend and I know he will be missed by all who knew him.

I was very fortnuate to have worked with Don on a couple of work projects in the past couple of years and, while I did not know him very well, I do know that he was a very professional, knowledgable, friendly and upbeat person.

I had no idea that he was suffering from leukemia and I am very sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Suzie and Andrea, I never knew Don, but I knew you both from Curves. I know how hard leukemia can be, as my mother-in-law succumbed to it several years ago. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I will pray for strength for you both, as well as for the repose of Don's soul.

Don exemplified this quote of Robert Fulgrum. “I've always thought anyone can make money. Making a life worth living, that's the real test.” I met Don in the mid 1980's working with Amoco, he's one of the most kind hearted gentlemen I ever had the pleasure to work among. I will miss him, but remember his spirt for enthusiasm and enterprise. God Bless Don and his Family.
