He and Jean planned a trip up the coast, with the end destination being Grand Coulee Dam. We almost had the chance to meet face-to-face a couple of years ago, after he had retired.

I enjoyed many delightful conversations and/or email exchanges with Don. He led us into the world of the World Wide Web at a time when it was still relatively new and unknown territory. Many years ago he was the first to launch our website, by way of hosting it on before we were prepared to host it ourselves. I knew Don professionally, via email and phone conversations only. It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Don Engel, and then to learn later in the day that he and Jean left together was doubly shocking.
