William D Doles

For me, Don was the consummate Southern gentleman and southern charm all in one wonderful person. I first met Don right after he´d graduated from the Law Enforcement Academy. We worked together and he taught me so much about crop insurance and related farm programs. Never heard him say a bad word about anyone - seemed to always see the better side in people, even those he was investigating. A smile for all who were luck enough to know him. Don, it was my honor to know and work with you. May you rest peacefully! Iris

Words can´t express how much I think of Don. We met through work in 2006, and he treated me like family ever since. He was my mentor at work and taught me so much about how to be successful in my professional career. More importantly, he taught me things about life and family that made me a better son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather. He was truly one of the kindest persons I have ever known. I could listen to him forever as he told of life experiences particularly those about family that he loved dearly.

Also, on behalf of Don´s USDA-OIG family, please accept our sincere condolences. Don will forever be a legend at USDA-OIG.

May God bless you as you mourn but may you look forward to that great reunion with him in heaven.
