Hello to everyone. It's hard to believe Don has passed. We were great friends and I will miss him very much. I met Don when he was with UPCO and there isn't enough room to list all of the almost trouble we got into. He opened up his house for me when I came to Phoenix to visit. He always made me laugh. A fond memory is going to his cabin and taking this old pickup he had over to some ranchers well and "borrowing some water" for his cabin. Please accept my condolences and wishes for all of you.

Don was a great co-worker, friend and professional buyer. I will always carry with me the good memories of Don. He sure gave me a lot of sh#* when I came on board at UPCO in 1982. I am glad to have gone to a Spring training game with him recently. We will miss you good buddy.
