I am saddened to hear about Don. I knew him all through grade school and high school, and he was an active participant in all our class reunions, so I saw him with some frequency through the years. He was always positive and had kind words to say about his former classmates.

Don was a good friend, fellow firefighter and at one time my boss. I will miss his freindship and quick wit.

Don was one of my favorite partners and is part of the paramedic I am today. Don taught me grace and calm under fire. I never once saw him loose his cool under pressure. Thank you Don for that most valuable lesson. God speed my friend.
