I was very sorry to hear about Don's passing. I realize that he had been struggling with health issues but I'm sure it was a shock nevertheless. Thankfully you have family around you on whom to rely at this difficult time.

My deepest condolences. Hopefully you will join us for Bridge this coming summer.

Take care

We were very saddened to learn of Don's passing. He was a co-worker, yes, but I always valued him as a good man and friend. He was a gentleman of the old school--loyal, generous, and thoughtful. John Furman held him in high regard, knowing that Don's dedication and strong sense of principle helped sustain the company over many, many years. We shall miss his quiet reserve and ready laugh. May God bless and keep you all in this sad time of deep loss.
