To Don's Family . . . I met and worked with Don at Garrett/AiResearch in 1970 when I transferred from Contracts at the Main Plant to Contracts in Torrance. He was a good friend to all. I treasure the numerous luncheons with Don, John Robbins, Henry Grady, Connie Jappel and me through the years. Not only was he a good friend, but a wonderful person and was loved by all. So glad I got to see him at our Cliff Garrett Retirement Club gatherings all these years - he rarely missed one. He was so fortunate to have you in his life.
Love, Carolyn Weyant

Remembering with fondness the glory days at the AiResearch 131st Street facility (circa 1962) with friends Don, Hank, Lib, Eva, Mary, and some names I can't remember. To Don's family, I extend my deepest sympathy. He was a good person.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. B almost two years ago providing physical therapy. During this time we´d talk about the military, golf and his love of westerns....Whenever I arrived, I was often greeted with a "Hey Kiddo!" and during the end of our session he´d always ask if I´d stay for dinner and would tell Rich or the caregiver to set a place for me..
Thank you Mr. B for your humor, sharing your knowledge and humor..
Rich, thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with your father.

Don was a very dear man that I knew years ago working at Allied Signal. When I retired he took lots of pictures for me and put them in a book and gave to me. He will always be remembered as a loving, caring man. God Bless and may you be comforted with memories. love, Charlotte
