Brother Don, 68, died Jan. 25. He had been a Marianist brother for 49 years.

A native of Chester, Pa., Brother Don earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Dayton in 1965 and began a long career as a Marianist educator to include serving in Baltimore, Md., and Hollywood, Fla., as a high school teacher and principal. He was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1982, which eventually necessitated his move to St. Leonard’s Health Center in Dayton.
