  3. I worked with Don for more than 30 years
    off and on. Don was always focused on
    the job at hand, big or small.. Don was a true
    gentleman and treated everyone with respect and
    he was a force of honesty.
    I was fortunate enough to join him in his later years
    skiing ..WinterPark was his favorite spot. Don was an athlete
    and I knew that, so it showed when he took to the slopes.
    Nothing but fond memories I’ll always cherish.
