Don and I shared more than one glass of what he called "BRANCH WATER". We had such a great time working together. His spirit and spunk for life is timeless.
You will be greatly missed. Please let your memory and legacy remain with friends and family.

I wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to Don's family and friends. I knew Don through my husband, Al Cordova. What a truly delightful man was Don. I will never forget his congenial manner, great spirit, and most of all his great sense of humor. I always left with a smile on my face after having spoken with Don. What a nice man I feel blessed to have met.
Sincerely,
Kathee Cordova

I worked with Don at the Job Service Center for several years. I never saw Don upset. He always was laughing and smiling. He treated everybody with kindness and was so helpful to both co-workers and job seekers. Don will be sadly missed. He was a wonderful man!

His humour!! I don't remember a time that I've spent with Don that did not end with a grin or chuckle. We did share many stories if I recall, he enjoyed (maybe too much) his stay in Turkey while in the Army. We shared a few toddies together this one is for you.

Don was one of my all time favorite coworkers. He had a way of reducing life to it's simplest terms with his sense of humor. He also never took himself to seriously and that what made it a pleasure for me to be around him. He will always remain one of my favorite coworkers and I will continue to draw on some of his West Virginia humor to ease the burdens of everyday life. May his family find comfort and peace in knowing he was one of the "good guys." Never forgotten - Rest in Peace my friend.
