Don was a great boss at Betsy Ross aka Peter J Schmidt. He really had his hands full with the rowdy bunch of jokesters that worked in the transportation department. Hearing of his passing was as sad as the day he retired. Although we didn't stay in touch, he was thought of often, I will miss my friend.- Bob Frymyer Uniontown Ohio
