My Condolences to Marion and the Mumby family, he was a great example as of what character and accountability represented. In my family's challenging moments in the past years, I can not properly communicate the appreciation I felt knowing he was part of the support system working with us.

Don was my Grand Master and both his position and bearing could put the fear into me. However once you had the opportunity to talk with him and see his smile all those previous fears would dissipate and you discovered a most wonderful human being.
Rest in peace my brother and and I trust that the GAOTU was waiting with open arms for you.
