My condolences to the Aronson family. 
I met Don early in my career at AY/EY in Boston, and after I moved on and to New York, he was quick to welcome me as family, warmly remembering AY/EY stories. We continued to connect through LMA, with Don always greeting me with a big smile, sharing his wisdom, respect and humor. 
Don, may you rest in peace.

I worked with Don after he started his own firm of Aronson & Heintz and than for many years thereafter. He was the consummate professional and in many ways a mentor to me. I remember him fondly - he was a " great guy " . I extend my sincere condolences to his wife and family. We have lost one of the good guys and there are so few left. Don Almeida ( formerly with Price Waterhouse and PwC )

Thank you for the positive impact you had on the lives of so many!
Rest in peace.

I met Don through the Legal Marketing Association when I had just started out in the industry. Even through Don was in a professional league tiers above me, he treated me with great professional respect which I will always remember. He had the loveliest way with people and always had a smile on his face. My condolences to the Aronson family.

A friend for 75 years, Donny was my pal, living maybe 8 houses apart on the same street in Newton as children, we attended the same grade and high schools, summer camp and each other's bar mitzvahs and weddings.

At 15, our dads took turns teaching us to drive, so then, Saturday Night as teenagers, we could borrow one of their cars for "double-dating."

Raising our families and building careers on separate coasts, we had only three or four meetings in recent decades, each a precious treasure to me  rare opportunities to share our affection for each other and our reminiscences. Too few relationships were as meaningful and formative to me.

My heartfelt condolences to all Donald E. Aronson's family and friends.

Dear Joan and Family
My deepest condolences on your loss.  This is a sad time to reflect for all who knew and worked with him.  Such a rare talent for connecting personally with everyone he met.  He contributed greatly to my business success as he consulted to my business after our EY days.  I most treasure his contribution to my better understanding of class, principle and kindness.  His humor was contagious.  It really was and will remain an honor to call Donald my very good friend.

Best wishes,
Jim Walker

Don and I worked together both at Arthur Young and, later for ten years, in an industry-leading consulting practice. Don was an innovator even though he played down that and his many other talents and strengths. He was devoted to Joan. And the dogs. He was a friend and a supporter, mentor and coach to many professionals. Certainly, a prince of a man and, as we used to say at AY, a class act. My deep sympathies to Joan and the families.

I have known Don for nearly 40 years. We both started at accounting firms and moved to law firms. He always greeted me with a warm hello, like a family member. We are so fortunate that he remained engaged with professional services marketing. I will miss he participation in LMA. I will always remember his kind words of encouragement throughout my career. Rest in peace my dear friend.

Andrea

My sincere condolences to the family. 
Don was among the nicest people at AY/EY.  I had the privilege to work with him since 1972 until his retirement. We used to catch-up post-EY days once or twice a year. I and countless others will miss Don.  
May he find Nirvana.

Dear Nancy and Laine, my heart goes out to you both as well as your families on the loss of your dad, one of my oldest and dearest friends. Regretably, we didn't see each other as often as I would have liked, but we did communicate occasionally and he will be missed. My sincerest condolences.
Ed Rosen
