Don Gambell was a loving and giving person. He helped many people and made many laugh. He was special, one of a kind for sure. He knew how to bring out the best of those who were lucky to be in his life. I was one of those people and consider myself fortunate to have been very close to him.

I worked with Don on and off at Kodak and it was always a pleasure to work with him. Loved his humor.
