I worked closely with Don during the late 70's on an ANSI standard committee. I had high regard for his competence, organizational ability, and cordial manner. His passing is a great loss
Don served on an advisory committee at Canada College where I worked as a dean. He and his wife donated computers to the college office technology program. Don was an inspiration to us all. Alice, my prayers are with you and the family. You now have an angel to care for you. Hugs, Grace Adams
I recall working on the HP-IL standard and comparing our progress with the standard set by the HP-IB standard activities - feeling proud that HP was so vibrant in the standards area and a bit in awe of trying to accomplish what we saw could be done. Thank you, Don.
I worked with Don when I managed networking PR at HP in the 80s. I remember him being so kind and generous of his time with me, and in addition to being very bright, thinking he must have the patience of a saint to put up with all the standards committee politics. But he clearly loved his work, family and life. I'm very sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family.
