I had so many good times with Don at York and on the golf course. He was a mentor to me. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. We were blessed to have spent time with Gondo.
Please accept my sympathy in the loss of Don. We worked together for many years at York HS. He was a great dean and worked so well with my special education students. Comfort to your family at this difficult time.
Please accept my sympathy for your loss of Don. We worked together at York High School. Don and I shared an interest in fishing and I believe I got him interested in dabbling in wood carving. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I want you to know that we are truly sorry for your loss. May the memories of Don, help you find peace. Ill will always have the memories of fishing with Don. They were always an adventure. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
