“It was a great privilege to be a colleague of Don at Baxter. Don was high energy, extremely intelligent, brilliant wit & creativity, driven & very dedicated to his customers. He was a careful listener, always saying what no one expected anyone to say, and with a flair that made the customers feel like they were the most important persons in the room. His empathy & kindness towards others, was without peer. Please let me know of his memorial service. [email protected]”
