Don and I were on the startup team at Ideal Cement. It was very challenging to get the computers and process to behave. Don was one of the most intelligent engineers we had. He and I had several successes using his electrical gizmos and my process control system.
He was also funny and well respected by our team mates. He is one person you could not forget. RIP wiz kid!

I always looked forward to going to meetings when Don would be there. We always had a good time when Don was around. Will truly miss him, as he was one of the people from Ideal/Holnam/Holcim that I respected for his knowledge and his willingness to share that knowledge with me. 

To Don's family - Please accept my sincere condolences.  I knew Don from Holcim, he was a member of the IT Technical Standards Committee as was I.  Over the years we shared many conversations and laughs (his bird calls) at our off-site meetings.  We also kept in touch these last several years via e-mail.  I will miss his wacky sense of humor, he always brought a smile to everyone.  Rest easy my friend.  Don is in God's hands, he is home.

Don was one of the best friends I have ever had, we first met around 1976 as fellow ham radio operators in Mobile ; he welcomed me to his home and helped me (16 years old) troubleshoot some radio equipment. We stayed in contact since then and had numerous visits together, discussing technology, gardening, and various other ideas. He recently gave me several of his ham radios, one of which has his call sign, WA4KJN on it, I will surely miss Don and remember the good memories!

I met Don several years ago through my husband, Bob Reinhaus. We enjoyed his company and picking his brain about technology. We walked his yard and discussed plants often. I will truly miss him. He was a good friend.
