Don was my HS swim and water polo coach
All time great person.....I dove with him and shared his passion for water polo....I was still playing 7 years ago in Budapest at world championships for masters!!!
THE link above is an article from when I hooked Don
up with a friend and he went skindiving and got a 10 inch abalone at age 86!!!
Some great memories and smiles from the time I met him at age 13 as a Freshman to now!!!!
Thank You Don....RIP
Don was a Man with more charisma than all of NY, CA, and Detroit combined. He’ll charm the scales off a barracuda.
I knew Don and his bubbly wife, Gloria when I lived at the large millbrae 4- story home! lol. Loved it. Was great times. I had just gotten out of college and didn’t want to move home and I saw their room for rent sign. Turn key with two First-Class folks. Just classy, caring and above board, top notch.
I’ll miss ya Don & Gloria ! Save a drink up there for me!
To Don’s & Gloria ‘s kids, woe were you two Blessed to have these (2) amazing souls as parents in your lives. These two spirits are now with our Heavenly Father, the King of Kings.
Love ya Don & Gloria. Always…
Best,
Jim
My dad
Love you dad
We will be back. Gone fishing.

Donald we knew each other for over 65 years. I met you as a young swimmer and always admired your dedication to family, career and the sport of swimming. I was so impressed with your daily swims at Prime Time even when you were struggling at the end. Rest in peace my friend, my next swim will be dedicated you.
