Messages to the Family
	Pat and Family, My elderly father and I met Don and Pat just a month ago when Don took the time to give us a tour of "his" HOF. Don even went out of his way to bring us over to the lake to see more hockey nostalgia from the 30's & 40's. Don's sudden passing comes as such a shock to all of us out here in the East. Don and Pat were both very hospitable and with meeting Don just for that one day I know the entire state has truly lost "one of a kind". Our condolences from the Sweeney family out in Massachusetts. Sweeney Family, Massachusetts
	The hockey community is saddened by the death of Don. He was a stalwart. Don was a team player and strongly supported ice hockey where ever it happened. Most recently a driving force involving USA Hockey's pond hockey tournament. Don's advice and counsel will be missed and our prayers go out to his family. Peter Lindberg VP USA Hockey
