    Not only was Donald a client of mine (through our Travel Agency) but he was a good friend for many years, as well. He helped us with our bookkeeping when we requested it. He was very much appreciated and we will miss his presence very much.

    Donald’s passing is a loss to many. I met Don about 20 years ago when he lived in Austin. He managed my tax returns, but I grew to know him as a friend. I have living overseas for 8 years now, and Don continued managing my returns from afar. We would talk and catch up on on personal events, and I was sad to hear about Gloria’s passing a few years ago. I will miss Don as many will also. He is a tribute to humanity and will be remembered this way.
