What can you say about a friend and family that you have known since 1969. Yes, time moves on but it was a shock to hear of a loss in a close family of someone taken too early.

I worked with Don for only a short time, but how can you not love him. He is kind and funny and treated everyone with respect. Condolences to his family and close friends and anyone who's been touched by Don.

In more than three decades in the work world, Don was the best coworker I have ever had. He was always ready to laugh, and at the same time was diligent to a fault with his work, always ready to jump in and help out in whatever way he could, and always treating clients and coworkers with compassion. It has been a decade since we worked together, but I still miss him.
