Don was a big part of our lives, as a coach and as a friend, the McDaniels have and will always be very special to us, like extended family. I will always remember his laugh, and the way he always made us feel like one of the family. My dad and Don passing so close together I know they're watching over us all, hanging out like they use too, and saving us a seat.

I met Don about 40 years ago at DHL when we opened 13 new stations at one time, and he was promoted to the station manager position in Knoxville, TN. I was in Houston at the time, and assigned as his "Buddy Manager" to mentor him through the start-up process. We became close friends and kept in touch throughout his freight/logistics career, especially when he moved back to TN and opened up his own logistics company.

Simply stated, Don was a great man who cared deeply about his family, operated his business in a very professional and above-board manner, and would give someone the shirt off his back if they needed help. He will certainly be missed by many.

To Susan and the entire family, please accept our deepest condolences, and Alice and I will be there on Saturday to celebrate his life with you.
