Don and Shirley are both well respected and long time members of the Modern Air family. Don approached anything he did with a great deal of intensity and integrity. He and Shirley spent many selfless hours envisioning and creating what our company has come to be. They were both integral to our success. Those of us who worked with Don in the extended Elliott-Lewis, Modern Air, and Anderson Air family will keep Don and Shirley in our prayers.

Don was a true old school Southern Gentleman. He could make me laugh in the middle of a problem and make the problem less significant. I appreciated and valued him as a dedicated co-worker.
