Don was a quiet and thoughtful man, he was a devoted son, and a much respected person. He spent many holidays in Ireland, and one of his greatest pleasures was observing the night skies over Geencastle, Co Donegal. He was very proud of his Irish heritage and often visited his grandfathers village of Newtowncunningham, in Donegal. Don will be fondly remembered by everyone he met in Ireland. RIP Don

I worked with Don for over 15 years at TRW. Don was a very good inspector and an all-around nice guy. We had lots of laughs together. I am sorry for you loss. Tom.Wilhelm
