To Gene Clum and Don's family,
I had the great pleasure of working with Don while he was at Buckeye and in charge of their facilities, specifically their corporate offices at 3900 Hamilton Blvd. He was a true gentleman and vey on top of things. actually he taught me a lot about property maintenance. I still remember him coming to talk to me while I was showering after my workout at the Nautilus. It was great working with him for those 10 plus years.
My sincere condolences go to his entire family.
