Don was my first boss at C-E, in the Header  shop where he was the supt. I learned so much from him about being a manager of people. He was a good boss, and a fair minded person.  I last saw him when he came to Gray Tool  a sub. of CE)in Houston where I was employed as Director of Quality.  I did send him a letter back in 2018, he called me and we had a nice chat for an hour or so. I was saddened to hear him say his wife Clarise and daughter April had died.  I regret not being able to see him before he passed.
Rest in Peace, Don, I'll alway remember you and the days in the shop, 1967-1970.



Just saw this. I'm blessed to have known this man. 

We’re thankful for the time we had with you Mr. Don. We sure miss you. Love you always, Mark and Nikki Hutchings
