Reviewer: Bill Le Clerc from [email protected]  
I worked for Atlantic Richfield when Don began his association with AM/PM.  He was just the greatest man to work with.  His son Don Jr., daughter Kathleen and wife Peg all contributed to the success he experienced as one of ARCO's best operators.  One of my fondest memories was when Don was selected as the AM/PM Franchisee of the Year.  He was so humble.  I was so proud of him and his family.

We had a lot of laughs together.  I'm sorry to learn of his passing. My condolences.
