I am still trying to process the fact that we've lost Don. He was such a wonderful person to work for at GPU and an inspiration to many of us especially in the Data Center. I owe an awful lot to Don for the career I had at GPU because of the trust he had in me. I will never ever forget it. My heart and sympathies go out to Don's Family who I know have had a difficult time with Don's passing but also know the long lasting memories shared by many will bring a smile to many. Rest in Peace and Power my friend. You will be missed.

With Much Respect,

Thomas Brown, Maricopa, AZ

My heartfelt condolences to the entire Flowers family. Sir Donald was such a kind and generous man. He was part of the village that raised me. He always made sure I had the latest style in Timberland boots. So now whenever I wear my Timberlands I'll think of the wonderful man I call Sir Donald. To the family, may fond memories of your loved one sustain you in the days, months and years to come.

Sincerely,
