I enjoyed working with Don at Rockwell and Sanmina. He also would come to presentations at the church My wife and I attend. He was a good man and will be missed by many.

I worked with Don many years ago at Rockwell Intl. in Richardson. He was a good man, an exceptionally knowledgeable technician and well liked by all.

I am so saddened to just now hear this. Don was one of my best and lifetime friends. He visited every time he came to Paris. I lost touch when I changed jobs and emails last year because he wrote me several times a week. Busy transition and lost touch. I cannot say how much it hurts to hear this. Don was an outstanding and devout Christian- not just recently but from the first time I met him till the last message we exchanged. I know heaven is richer but my life feels poorer right now. Please let me know the memorial plans

Donnie was one of our church clan of kids when we were growing up. I always got a hug when he came to church visiting Ms. Hazel. We will reunite with him soon in Haven! I love your family
