My condolences to the entire family. Don was a very good friend and I’ll miss him a great deal. Don was also an excellent ping pong player. He typically beat me but we had a lot of laughs hanging out together. RIP buddy!

What a great guy Don was. Only met him a few years ago, but had great conversations with him and lots of fun. I found him to be a very kind and caring person. I will miss his friendship a lot but will cherish the good times we had. My son Jack spoke highly of him also and was saddened by his passing.
