    worked with Don on the parish council. I found him a very hard worker with a great love for his faith and family. RIP

  • George Kraynick

    Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. I had the honor (and luck) to have Don as my boss for many years and I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor and friend for someone starting out in the water industry. I talk about him all the time with the staff I manage and try to pass on what he taught me to them. He always treated everyone with kindness, patience and respect, loved his family and was just a wonderful human being.

  • Tim Szalinski
