Condolences.
Don was a fellow member of CAFE business PAG for a number of years. I got to know the Don as a caring and giving gentleman. We shared some wonderful discussions together within the group and outside of it.
Don was so very special, as is his family. Love them all dearly. Reconnected with Don about 4 years ago after not seeing him since the 1950's in Sarasota. Saw this handsome man in the congregation of the Christian Science church in Naples, and said to myself, that looks like Don Zacher. Sure enough, out in the foyer after the service I went up to him and said "excuse me, but aren't you Don from Sarasota?"
Bingo! Big smile came to him immediately--yes! That gentle smile was always there whenever you saw him, and know it is still there. My deep love to Lyn & Jule.
Many wonderful and happy memories of Don since I met him as one of my brother’s best friends at Principia College in 1960. So enjoyed being with Lyn and Don on a Principia cruise on the Rhein River several years ago. Knowing that Don’s integrity, love, and wholeness as a child of God continues unchanged.
I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Don's passing and feel remiss it has been so long since we last spoke. I loved the opportunity to chat with Don and reconnect at your family brunches. I was a pretty proud papa to introduce Liam, just 9 days old, to the family at one of these functions. Don was a great steward of the family business. The W.B. Hamilton namesake will live on. I am not sure if you knew my middle name is Brown and of course Liam is names after William.
Condolences to you all
I am very sorry to hear of Don's passing. He was ever the quiet, thoughtful, always willing to lend a helping hand "American cousin" to all of his Canadian counterparts! I will always remember him for his ready smile and unfailing hospitality. He will be greatly missed.
