I’m so very sorry to hear this news. My condolences to Don’s family and all of his many, many friends. He was a great teammate in our shared mission to improve the Internet. Zichrono livracha, Don’s memory is definitely for blessing.

Don was a colleague, friend, and mentor to many; he was a mainstay of the operational community, and tirelessly worked to make the Internet safer and more resilient for us all. His intellect, wit, and generosity of spirit were well-known to those who were privileged to have the opportunity to work with and learn from him. Don’s contributions to the industry were manifold. While we are all diminished by his loss, his legacy abides; and we can honor him by continuing to build upon that foundation, for the betterment of the Internet community as a whole. Once Don’s family have established plans for his memorial, they will be posted here. -------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <roland.dobbins () netscout com>
