I’m proud to call Don my friend. So glad to have enjoyed much more than a Client-Sales Rep relationship with him. We hadn’t traded notes in too long, but Don reached out in June. I was dismayed to get the news in July. Don is proof that the good die young, and Don was the best!
Condolences to Maxine and Familty,

I’m surprised all you Air Liquide types didn’t mention not only was Don the manager of the notorious Freeport HYCO plant, late in his career, he jumped into the raging mess at Bayport! Why he did that, I’m not entirely sure. But, he could handle it. He was the coolest of the cool: of that there is no doubt. However, believe it or not, I did see Don get angry, or sort of, when he was at Corpus. The catalyst loading was not going well at all and the contractor explained to Don they were going to be days late. He didn’t take kindly to it and very firmly stated the unacceptability of their schedule and very, very firmly stated they find a way to fix their problems. I wish I could remember his exact words, but suffice it to say, they were exceptionally effective.
We all will miss him greatly and I am thankful for the opportunity to have known him and work with him over many years. For sure he has gone too soon.
To Maxine and family, may God be with you always.

I worked with Don for several years at AL. He was always one of my favorite people. He was a man I respected and am proud to have known. I was given the privilege of planning his retirement party at which time I had the pleasure of meeting his family that he loved so dearly. I am so sorry for your loss. He was truly an exceptional man.
Heard the sad news. While working for me Don was a great manager and a great person. He was great with his people and everyone has a positive relationship with him. No matter what the situation, he would calmly work through it and resolve it. He had a great sense of humor and I really enjoyed working with him and supporting him however I could.
Maxine, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. He left us too soon, but will always be remembered for the outstanding person that he was.
You have my condolences. Praying with you and for you and family.
Don was a gem, one of the finest men we have ever known. We will always remember the time we recently shared together in Hawaii. We are grateful for the gift of having known him. Thinking of you, Tony & Isabel Garcia
Don will always be remembered. He was a great Manager, mentor, and friend.
Maxine,
Our heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

I met Don and Maxine at Tom Bass Park weight training class. Don was one of the counters for the instructor. He would always volunteer to help the instructor when needed. My condolences to you Maxine and your family. May Peace and Grace be with you and your family always. Sister Arleine Ray
