My deepest sympathy to the family. Don was a great teammate and a tough opponent. He was a good guy and always gave it his all. Will miss seeing him and talking to him while playing the 5th hole at Shenny. He will join a great Pfizer softball team in heaven. RIP Don.

Grace - With sincere sympathy I am writing to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of overwhelming sorrow. Don was not only a respected colleague of mine at Pfizer, he was a true friend. We worked on projects together; he was a joy to work with; energetic and upbeat.
Grace I realize that there is little that one can say to assuage your great grief. I do hope that the memories of Don, the loving husband and father that you were blessed with will act as some support to you at this difficult time.
With condolence,
Tom Carty

I am so sorry about the loss of Don. I grew up with him almost as a 2nd dad while sitting in the dug out of countless softball games. As I became an adult, Don always had a smiling face and made me laugh recounting memories of he and my dad. He will very much be missed. With deepest condolences.

Grace and family,
Sorry for your loss. Don was a good man, and he was a good grandfather to my children. I have a lot of respect for him, he taught me a lot , mostly as to being a homeowner. We made a lot of good memories.
May he Rest In Peace.
