I am still in the state of shock after hearing the news of Don’s passing. I first know Don as a fellow alumnus at Progressive.  I will always remember his incredibly calm and friendly demeanor.  He led with a quiet confidence and a kindness that is rare to find.  I feel incredibly fortunate to have know him.  My deepest regret is that we hadn’t been in close touch in recent years, but the kindness he has showed me have never left me. In his memory, just as Don did for me, I plan to pay it forward by supporting others.  He will be deeply missed.
