Sincere condolences to Don’s family . We met Don in the 80s as he taught dance classes in Fulton. He was very professional in the art and brought great instruction and enjoyment to my wife and I as we became confident and proficient ballroom dancers.
Don became a good friend along the way and we spent many enjoyable evenings with his group. RIP Don and keep on dancing ..
To Don’s family, I worked with him at DuPont. He was a really good guy. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
