With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather. Don will be lovingly remembered by family and friends for his service to country and community, dedication to family, love of travel, "bad dad jokes," and legendary sweet tooth.

The funeral mass for Don will be held on November 22, 2024 at 1:30 p.m. at St. John the Beloved Catholic Church on 6420 Linway Terrace in McLean, Virginia. In lieu of flowers, we request donations to the Falcons Landing Benevolence Fund in his memory.
