I really loved your humor throughout our school years...You made many of us laugh with that creative sense of humor! 

Craig Scheinost

I rode to school almost every morning with Don and several others for over a year.  Whenever Don walked into the room the atmosphere just picked up, became lighter, happier.  He was so friendly and had a presence about him that encouraged interaction; open friendly.  Which is sad beause if whoever gunned him down in the inner city of Chicago could have just taken some time to get to know him before pulling a pistol on him, they probably wouldn't have done it!  Someone told me this and that he had graduated from college in social work, which makes sense knowing the kind of person he was.  He was quite genuine and if he had been given a chance could have been a real force for improvement in the quality of life in the area he was living and working in.  Memory from Craig Scheinost
