Don will be greatly missed. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Chessly I am sending prayers to you!
I am sorry for your loss of Don.
Don was a wonderful person and my life was better from getting to know him. He had a wonderful personality and a huge heart. Rest in peace my friend. Prayers and condolences to his family, I’m deeply sorry for you loss.
Offering my deepest condolences to Dons family at this difficult time. It was a pleasure to have known and worked with him.
Don and my husband Rocky met at the Buffett Cancer Center in October 2023. I know in the short time they knew each other they drew strength from one another. I’m sure their walks were filled with meaningful conversations. I only got to meet Don once, and I will always be grateful he was with Rocky in some of his last moments and his kind words to us. My heartfelt condolences go to your family. I’m so sorry.
