Larry Sparling
I started my career with the State Patrol in 1985 so I never had the pleasure of working with Don. However, I did have the pleasure of working with his son Tom for most of my career. During this time, Tom would speak often of his father, always favorably.
I have the utmost respect for Tom, he is a true friend. Very honest and ethical, as well as caring and always willing to listen about problems with never being judgmental or offering unwanted advice.
It takes an exceptional man to raise an exceptional son, so I know that Don was truly an exceptional man.
My condolences to his wonderful family,
Larry Sparling
