I met Don in 1991. I was introduced at a meeting in Myerstown, Lebanon County and worked with him in setting up two councils with the Knights of Columbus. He inspired me and though I ran him to him rarely, Don was one of a kind and he will be missed dearly. God speed Don!

Don was a person I treasured since I met him in 1993. I will always remember his laugh and enthusiam for living. He spoke so often of his grand children that I almost feel I know them. We shared so many stories about his travels. Please know Don was a well-liked man and his passing leaves me with a large emply spot in my heart. I will miss you Don.
