“Cheryl and family, Nancy and I send our most sincere condolences to you and your family. I knew Don while working at Xerox and met him in 1976. He was a professional at his job and made a difference in each person he trained. It was always a pleasure to work with him. He had a great sense of humor that we all enjoyed. We all share in your loss of Don. God Bless you and your family. Wally Sayko”

John Wood wrote a sympathy message

“Don and I have been good friends since 1975. We worked and played totgether, spending many enjoyable hours on the golf course along with other socializing. He was a hard worker willing to help others although he displayed an "I think I'll stick to myself" attitude. Once you earned his trust, you had a really good friend. He thoroughly loved his wife (Cheryl) and family and always spoke highly of them. Don will be sorely missed by many, me included. God bless his family at this difficult time.”
