I was saddened to read in the Boston College magazine of Don's passing. I met Don at GE Valley Forge on my second day there He borrowed me for a short time. 2- 3 years later I was still traveling to the West coast and Long Island learning the technical and people side of the Aerospace business (and some of the theatrics). --and the west coast restaurant scene. It was never dull working for Don. With him engineering was not a dull, dry grind but an everyday intense and emotional time. For a kid from Jamaica Plain (and BC 55) Don provided a great life experience. I will miss him and his great smile.

Dear Miriam and everyone else,
I'm very sorry for your loss-I'm glad Donald could be surrounded by his family, I know that meant so much to him. I remember his very easy smile, we didn't see each other often but he knew me from my sister (a rare feat) and always held a conversation with me and treated me like an adult!
