Yes...very sad news. Don was instrumental in nurturing the Montana Bicycle Racing Association during its formative years and, as others have alluded, he definitely helped "raise the bar" of the level of bike racing in the state.
Insistent when necessary, occasionally quirky (in a very good way!), and always caring, I can honestly attest that Don sincerely and always had officials' and racers' best interests/safety at the forefront of his mind.
Known by most as Montana's primary race official and coordinator, Don was also a certified coach who offered riders across the state access to the latest training techniques and methods. Additionally, Don was an event promoter, and he took pure joy from bringing racers new and interesting cycling challenges. Just yesterday, I pulled on the pair of socks given away at the four-event "Festival of the Time Trial" which Don and wife Vicky once held in their adopted town of Philipsburg.
It was an honor to have worked alongside him, and to have shared ideas and visions with Don -- he will be missed.
