Dear Derry and Don,
While it is most difficult to say good bye, these past five plus years have been a gift for you and your family to have spent with Don when it truly mattered most. Needless to say, it was so nice to renew our business relationship, which started over 40 years ago between my father and Don in Los Angeles. I will always remember Don's kindness and generous spirit. He was a good man who will be missed. May his memory be a blessing for your family to treasure always.

Dear Derry.
I was saddened to hear of the passing of Don. I always appreciated the confidence both you and Don had in me. He was a good man. a gentle man, a fair man, and a professional business man. I'm sorry
I didn't have a chance to talk to him before he began his next journey. My sincerest condolances.
