“Don will be missed by a great many City Managers. He was a mentor to me as a new city manager entering the profession. His stories that started out with "I wanna tell you a story, I don't care if you believe me or not...…." I promise you, we believed them. Great guy, wonderful influence on both the law enforcement and the city management profession. Truly a class act that there will never be another one like him. Thanks for sharing him with us and I will pray for peace. Scott Wayman”
