Don died April 20, 2004, in Miami of degenerative heart disease.

Born in Philadelphia, he came to us from Penn Charter. At Princeton he roomed with Bill Bardsley, Bob Finken, Dave Sykes, and Ed Woolley. He was a biology major, a member of Elm, and on the cabinet of the Westminster Fellowship. In 1953 he joined E.R. Squibb and began his career in pharmaceutical sales. By 1958 he had joined Geigy Pharmaceuticals, becoming its hospital representative for the state of Florida.

Upon his retirement in 1986 he turned full time to writing and photography. His articles appeared in Florida Sportsman and other outdoor magazines. A big-game angler, he caught all nine International Game Fish Association-listed billfish in a single year. He had many other interests, including antique-bottle and coin collecting, pre-Columbian art, Civil War history, orchids, and had a lifelong love of opera.
