Steven, Debbie, Hannah and Ben, I'm deeply saddened. Don gave me my start in advertising back in 1975 and was a wonderful mentor and friend to me for years. As many have written, he was hugely proud of you all and loved you very much. You brightened his later years immeasurably. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
