Joe and Dottie, sorry to learn of Don”s passing. Knew him as your big brother and a SLUH grad and remember how close your family was when visiting your childhood home
Judy and family, lifting up Don today in thanksgiving for his life. 30 years ago, my first job out of the Army was as an intern at Shearson Lehman Brothers, working with Don as my mentor. Not only did he infuse me with knowledge, curiosity, passion, but we laughed a lot as well. Danny, when you were younger, we drove to southern Missouri to do a seminar during which Don played a CD of the Lion King Sountrack- he cried when The Circle of Life played as he thought of what it meant to be a father. Don had a soft heart beneath his towering personality. God Bless Him.
