I worked with Donald on a real estate transaction just prior to his passing. I was impressed with his knowledge and sincerity. He helped me to successfully complete a transaction that has benefited me to this very day. I certainly will remember him always. Carl Monica

I have worked on & off with Don over the past 25 years and will miss him. He taught me many lessons in architecture and life. He loved his family and always put others before himself. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Dauzat family.

My sincerest condolences to you, Brenda, and the family. Donald was such a thoughtful, intelligent, kind, calming person. I'm one of the many MHS '67 and LSU classmates who'll miss him a lot.

I just recently got to know Donald over the past few months. He helped us solve several architectural concerns that we had. He was a brilliant man. I greatly enjoyed working with him and was eagerly looking forward to the future. My deepest, heartfelt sympathy to Donald's family.

My sympathy to Donald's family. We were high school classmates at Marksville High School and graduated in 1967. Did not see Donald much except at class reunions. He will be missed. My prayers and thoughts are with the family
