Donald Herbert Nollar

I will never forget Don Nollar. A kind and intelligent man devoted to his family and his work. Always had a smile on his face, and made you feel welcome. I met him way back in the 1980's when a boss of mine introduced me to his wonderful family. Then my husband at the time got to know him when both worked at Pasadena City Hall. One of my favorite memories is sitting with him and Judy in a box at Hollywood Bowl, waiting to hear some great classical music.

I loved seeing Don at the Gamble House every Friday, turned out in a jacket and tie to give his tours and share the house with the public! He always came to my office in the basement of the house to visit. Don and my parents had dear, dear friends in common in George and Valera Hall. We enjoyed that mutual connection and often recalled them together. I have missed Don in the years that he's been unable to come to the house and was truly moved to hear of his passing.
