Donald Tasto and I went to the same grade school. We had a crush in the 5th grade and his parents took us on our 1st date to an amusement park. It rained the whole time. We went to different private high schools. Thank you for the memories. Maggie

I was always so glad ti see Dr. Tasto at the circus club off and on. He had a comforting presence about him whenever I would see him.
He also helped me so much therapy-wise. I so wish he was still alive. I need him.
My condolences to Jennifer.

My dearest boss, Don, sorry I just found out today while I was out of country since 2012. I've always had the utmost respect for you since 2003 the very first day that I worked in your office. Between 2003 and 2008, we had a great time working together in Redwood City Law Office, party with lovely Jen in your house and Jen's office besides friends get together had fun time to meet at the BBC in Menlo Park. Miss you and miss the best time we had worked together in the office. Pray for your smiling peaceful soul as always and thank you for taking a good care of your employee that I enjoyed.

I first met Don in 2003 at the BBC (British Bankers Club) in Menlo Park. We immediately became fast friends and developed a friendship that I will always cherish. He was an extraordinarily talented man -- skilled in both psychology and the law. He and Jen invited me and my wife to many family and professional affairs and were always gracious hosts. I will always remember fondly the fun and often hilarious times we spent together.

Dear Don,
I miss you terribly. You were my mentor, my confidant, my friend. The sadness I feel is so overwhelming. You taught me so much in the practice of law and life. Nobody could play Amazing Grace like you, and I know in my heart you are now experiencing the Amazing Grace you so elegantly sang and played and we all dreamed and longed for those cherished words to be deeply seated in our souls. You accomplished this for me.

Goodbye my Godfather. I have always loved you and still do.
Love your godson,
Johnny

Every positive adjective describes Dr. Tasto.
Just knowing he existed gave me a certain comfort and joy.
I will miss you very much, Dr. Tasto. Thank you for all you gave to me.

I AM SO VERY SAD AT THE THOUGHT THAT DON TASTO IS GONE. WHAT A GENTLEMAN. NO ONE PLAYED AMAZING GRACE OR SANG IT, LIKE DON. HE WAS MY FRIEND'S HUSBAND AND WAS MY ATTORNEY. HE MADE ME LAUGH AND GOT ME A BIG FAT CHECK IN SUIT. I RESPECT HIM, THANK HIM AND WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER DON AS SUCH A GREAT GUY. MY HEART GOES OUT TO JENNY, HIS PRECIOUS, AWESOME WIFE. REST IN PEACE, DON TASTO.
FROM YOUR FRIEND AND YOUR WANNA-BE SECRETARY,
PAT CROCKER SAN FRANCISCO
