Age 82, an extraordinary man, went to his savior on December 8, 2014, a devastating loss to his family and friends. He is survived by his wife, Phyllis of 58 years; children, Cindy, Donald Jr., Susan and husband, and James and wife; nine grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren, all of whom he loved dearly. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1955, entered the U.S. Air Force and served 22 years. In 1977 he was employed by Sandia National Lab and retired in 2008. Internment will take place at Santa Fe National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to woundedwarriorproject.org.
