I knew Don through our mutual membership in the 49th Fighter Squadron Association. It's been 30 years since we first crossed paths. I always looked forward to our annual reunions to hear his stories. They got better every year! I also seem to remember a leather flight jacket in remarkable condition. Our country owes a great debt of gratitude to Don and all the members of his "greatest" generation. He has reached the last line on the poem and gets to "…put out his hand and touch the face of God."

Don, like his brother, Bob, was a true gentleman and generous soul. The country owes him a debt of gratitude for his service-especially the atomic bomb volunteering. Our sympathies to you Bob and Carolyn. Love, Mike and Rosemary Howell

Bettie,Brad & Lewis you are in our thoughts and prayers. America has lost a true American hero with Don's passing. Without service personnel like him we wouldn't have our freedom today. I wish we could have spent more time getting to know him but the week in July will forever be in our hearts. I will always remember one morning at the breakfast table when he "schooled" me about what made a plane have the ability to fly. He was a kind soul with one of the deepest laughs we had ever heard .We will miss hearing him laugh, giving the up sign with his thumb and calling us "young'ns". You could see the love he had for Bettie pouring from his eyes! Me & Christal was blessed to have him as a brother in law! If there are P-38's in heaven I know he's in the cockpit having a ball. We love and will miss you sir. We salute you Col. Don! Fly high fly high ✈️✈️✈️✈️

The world has lost a true American hero. He is one of the reasons we have " freedom" today. David and I got to spend a week this past summer with him and the stories he told us was truly a inspiration. We will miss his deep laugh and I will always remember him teaching me one morning at the breakfast table on exactly how and what causes a plane to fly. If there are P-38's in heaven he's in the cockpit. Col. Don I know Bettie and us "young'ens" will miss you and will always remember you. I wish we would have had more time to learn and laugh! Fly high and straight Col. Don! ✈️✈️✈️
