At 84 years, Don had a full life of family, friends, travel and business, often combined together in a way that brought him closest to the people that mattered most. He will be fondly remembered for his insatiable desire for travel and adventure. He was at his best gathering everyone together for cocktails, dinner and long evenings of stories and laughter.
