I was blessed to have met Donald and Elsie at their granddaughter Kelsey's wedding. They were a handsome couple and he leaves a great legacy of a loving great family. My sincere condolences to all the family and prayers to Elsie and family.

Fond memories of working around Don while he tackled occasional IBM mainframe software issues we experienced at Air Products in the mid-80s. Although not mentioned in his obituary, among Don´s interests was Amateur Radio ("ham operator") where he sported the callsign K3UST. Rest in peace, Don
