He was so much more than all of his accolades in the film industry. He was a teacher, a mentor, a friend, and most importantly, a passionate father and husband. I will miss his joy of life, his carefree attitude, and his fashion sense. Donn could pull off ANYTHING!" — Scott A. Jacobs, MPEG Board member "I don't know how to put into words how I have treasured Donn and his friendship. I can sing it ... with words from 'To Sir with Love.' After I worked with him, he asked me to run f o r t h e b o a r d o f d i r e c t o r s — a n d my l i fe c h a n ge d . H e gave me a west coast family. I loved him and will always be grateful for his monthly calls to check in on me." — Sharon Smith Holley, MPEG Board Secretary " E v e r y m o r n i n g , D o n n would enter the editing room smiling. He approached the day and any situation with grace and confidence, always seeing the glass half full." — Nancy Frazen
