Don's righteous and adventurous spirit is so very missed. He let me shadowed him in his mission for God for a couple of weeks last year. He shared his many loves of his earthly family, faith to do God's work no matter how painful it can get (as his father showed him) and his love of fleeing to new adventures on his motorcycle to encounter strangers God put in his path. He once said that there is a place for you when you are a seeker, but one day we have to grow up as a Christian and lead. I think of him when I hear Lost Boys and hope he is enjoying his new adventures as he is missed. My condolences to his family and their great loss. Peace

We in the Presbytery of Southern New England are truly saddened to hear of the passing of Don. As a former Trustee for the Presbytery of Southern New England and Business Administrator at FPGC, he was well known, his gifts to the Church much appreciated, and he will truly be missed not only by you but by all whose lives he touched.
May all of you find comfort and healing through memories shared, and may the peace of Christ surround you during the difficult times ahead.

I worked with Don at FPCG. I was so sorry to hear of his passing. He was truly the best boss I have ever had and he was truly a great, diplomatic and kind hearted person. I am honored to have had the pleasure of knowing him. Definitely one of a kind who will be missed immensely. My heart is heavy.
My thoughts and prayers to all his family and friends.
