He selflessly helped others during any time of need. His dedication to his family manifested itself many times over. He was identified by many names and wore many hats throughout his life.

Don was a "character" but his genuine character drew great respect. Through his life and now in his memory we are all inspired to love selflessly, lend a hand to those in need, and treat every day as if it's your last.
