To Don’s nearest & dearest,
I’m so very sorry for your loss. I knew Don from the Waukegan Symphony Orchestra, sitting across the section from him in the first violins. I admired his dedication, and professionalism, and enjoyed his gentle sense of humor. He will be missed.
May his memory be a blessing.
