We will all deeply miss him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06558131082552248755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980286.post-41495084418072928942012-09-29T19:40:21.998-04:002012-09-29T19:40:21.998-04:00Bob, thanks for sharing the news.

I observed his work from afar and was impressed. <br /><br />Caryn (my wife) once interviewed for an associate position when Don was in Bakersfield. Caryn and I spent the night with Don and Linda who provided wonderful hospitality. <br /><br />When the Pacific Southwest Region was in a very precarious time Don provided great leadership.jhenrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10131099363634846812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980286.post-90268778852513312262012-09-28T15:04:51.571-04:002012-09-28T15:04:51.571-04:00Thanks for your words Steve!

He was one of the few who knew how parliamentary procedures worked. I think he learned it in 4H as a kid and never forgot it.<br /><br />I would invite others to share their remembrances of Don's life.<br /><br />Robert Cornwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04581876323110725024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980286.post-35668248079610900962012-09-28T14:23:12.517-04:002012-09-28T14:23:12.517-04:00Here!

Even after I left his region, he maintained a relationship with me and remained available. And as one who shared your rigorous journey with you, I know how much his support meant to you. He will be missed, and his vacancy will be hard to fill.Steve Kindlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634130965524334750noreply@blogger.com
