Though we were geographically separated, he in Florida, me either in Europe and Canada, and spent little time together, we were highly connected on a deep level. I admired Don as an absolutely straight forward, honest and also welcoming man. He had strict opinions in several areas, but was always open for discussions. He remained curious and was interested in particular in philosophical and intellectual questions. He was a wonderful friend, neighbor and host. I feel privileged that I was several times invited to be his guest in his beautiful home, which was entirely self designed and had a clear Italian atmosphere. He loved to cook and was excellent in making any kind of pasta meals. He clearly was a great art person, very creative and always busy. His impressive workshop was full of huge and tiny tools and incompleted or completed  art work, including statues. In his house there were awesome paintings, huge amphores and vases told his European roots (I always wanted to get one, honestly!) Don loved women, beauty and spirit of life, and he also loved animals and nature. He always lived alone, but never complained about loneliness. He appreciated the simple things and never understood why people were buying or collecting things all the time. He was a modest man. He had a clear awareness of who he was  - with all his limitations. He loved to live and was pure of joy. I will miss you, Don, and feel close to your friends and family.
