The family would like to thank Don's extended GHS work family for their many acts of kindness during this difficult time, Dr. William Edenfield, Joe Castillo and the staff at the GHS Cancer Institute, and the caring, compassionate staff of Homestead Hospice who made Don's last days as comfortable as possible.

An Affirmation of Life will be held for Don on Friday, November 13, 2015 in the Chapel of the Palmetto Mortuary, located at 1313 A Miller Rd. Greenville, SC, at 1:00 p.m. with visitation immediately following.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a memorial be made to the GHS Office of Philanthropy & Partnership, 300 E. McBee Ave. Suite 503, Greenville, SC 29601 or to a charity of your choice.
