My Dad, Jim Gobert, worked with Don at RMH in Olney. He would be very proud to hear that Don never missed a day of work ( Dad never did either). I was small at the time, but I remember he and Don were close. I think maybe you came to Dad's funeral in 1979. Mom just passed away this December at 95. I was very sorry to hear your sad news.

I am sorry to here of Don's passing. He was someone I looked up to as a young radiographer when I came back to Russellville. He was always genuine and "straight up" with me, which I admired. You all are in my prayers.

Norrita, Richard, Gwen, Donna,
I am so sorry for your loss. Don was a wonderful man and a dear friend. I was blessed and privileged to have him as a friend and a dedicated co-worker for all those years. His dedication and quiet professionalism helped many thousands of patients and their families over the years. Don has always had a special place in my short list of great and admirable people, both as a man and as a true healthcare professional. And he always will. I wish I could be there for Don’s service but I cannot. Please know you and he are in my thoughts and prayers.
