My sincere condolences to Donald Kirk's family. I worked for him for 15 years and knew him to be a caring, and generous employer and a very skilled business person. I thought of him as invincible.ill never forget his kindness to those who needed help...it was always anonymous. I'm a better person for knowing him. Au revoir Donald. RIP
