Don was my first boss straight out of college. I joined Lynch Jones & Ryan and he taught me the Sales ropes. Selling came very naturally to him. He loved being around people and sharing stories. He became friends with many of his clients and was someone who always brought positive energy into a room. Don was a compassionate, kind, generous man. He was always running late, but still always happy to help someone in need...even if it made him more late. We hadn't spoken in about 20 years, and he recently crossed my mind. I thought about trying to track him down and thank him for taking me under his wing. I wish I was able to deliver that thank you. Don, I hope you are looking down, knowing that I did appreciate you. Love, Shari

Uncle Dad/Don -Been hard to post as I think through what an extraordinary impact he had in my life...He was vibrant and hilarious and generous and so full of life. When I lost my dad at 18, he took over the job, guiding me in career choices, listening to me cry over one broken heart after another, welcoming 2 out of wedlock babies as if they were his own grandkids, accepting my amends for being a little $h7t for a big part of my life, providing a vacation in Tennessee for a struggling single mom with 2 challenging tweens and calling me every year on my dads birthday to tell me how proud he would be of me. This year I called him and didn’t realize how sick he actually was(we talked days before and he was “going home tomorrow”)I love you so much Uncle Don, Rest In Peace. My condolences to his children,my cousins Don and Cathy and my cousins Karen and Paul. I’m sure the Kress Twins Sr are raising a ruckus up there!

Don was National President of Delta Tau Delta when I was President of my Delt house at Kettering University.  I have never forgot his visit, and his dedication to Delt excellence.  My best to his family, friends and Brothers at Delta Tau Delta..............Paul DeMand

Your zest for each day will be missed - but not forgotten good brother.

Don was such a great Guy ! Always a gentleman . I will surely miss him !

Don was Delta Tau Delta. I am a Lafayette College grad, Class of ‘79. I have known Don since 1975 and he was the best champion of Delt ideals and a friend of all brothers. I was fortunate to ride in the same cart with Don 5 years ago at a Delt golf tournament and that experience was memorable. So many stories that Don told with great recall and passion. He will be missed and always remembered.
