I first got to know Don personally around 1990 when he was establishing the Rotman Institute. As well as being an insightful and creative research scientist who made seminal contributions to our understanding of frontal lobe function, he was warm-hearted, generous and fun-loving. I have especially fond memories of listening to jazz with him in a Toronto nightclub, and of attending an uproarious holiday party at his home in the city. My condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. He will be much missed.
