I had written to him as an aspiring grad student in the 90s hoping to work with him. Alas, he had left the Institute at that point, but we had occasional meetings and correspondence while in the UK. A gentleman a d a scholar. He will be missed!

He was an inspirational undergraduate teacher and I was privileged to have Don as PhD external examiner many years later.
