Chris Hassell says
I spent several years working with Don. Lots of smoke breaks discussing problems of the day. I always looked up to Don and had the upmost respect for him. I have thought about him frequently since our paths have gone different ways. He will be missed.
Carolyn Dodd says
Donald was my best friend for over 30 years. I had the privilege of seeing him accept Christ as his Lord and Saviour. He will be missed by so many and his memory will live on. He was a huge attribute to the Oklahoma County Master Gardeners program, a member of The International Guild of Knot Tiers and a member of The Peanut Butter Lovers Club (he was so proud of that). Although I moved back home to Georgia, we kept in touch and I just moved back to Oklahoma and was going to surprise him on Christmas Day! Donald, you were loved and respected by many.
