Don was my friend and neighbor. We were inseparable from 4th to 8th grade. He was a true and genuine person. I have never forgotten the friendship we shared. I am so sad at his passing. Rest in peace DJ.
Sorry to learn of Don’s passing. I was a neighbor of Don’s from the old neighborhood where we all grew up and played as kids. My thoughts and prayers are with Don’s family.
I played ping pong with Don. While very skilled and knowledgeable about the game, his passion was contagious.
