Don was a truly gifted artist who also had a love and passion for motorcycles which can be seen through his art. I always loved the parties that he and his loving wife Sally gave because I got to peak into his world of art. I too painted as a young adult and shared his passion. I will truly miss him, one of the nicest guys I ever met. I will cherish the xmas cards that he has sent me every year. He will live on through his art.

Don will be truly missed by Riding Into History, the motorcycle community, artists and many others. Don was the ultimate in generosity to RIH. His 11 years of artwork for our posters helped put Riding Into History on the national motorcycle community map. He was an extremely talented, humorous, kind and generous person. He gave so many people joy with his art and his great sense of humor. I will think of him everyday as I see his beautiful art hanging on my walls!

Don was a unique combination of the kindest, most generous and most talented person anyone would be honored to know. His contributions to Riding Into History were instrumental in generating nearly $400,000 for charities, and he was key in raising the awareness of the beauty of motorcycles for people all over America. Don was the winner of the inaugural Dusty Miller Award for Generosity for the thousands of hours he generously donated to painting the artwork for the dozen different Riding Into History posters that put the event on the national map. My heart goes out to Sally, Roni and the other family members, for we have all lost a special human being whose contributions will live on for years to come.
Sincerely and sadly, Bill Robinson

My condolences to Sally & family. I am honored to have known Don for 11+ years through his vintage motorcycle restoration work and his work with The Ride Into History. Don was a kind and considerate gentleman who was always ready to share his time and talent for the benefit of others. I am sure Sally, Roni and family will find some comfort in fond memories of Don. Here is a photo of Don & Roni from one of the Ride Into History events.
