Born in New York City, Oct. 12,1935 and passed living most recently in
Woodbridge, VA. Don was married for 51 years to his
beloved, predeceased wife, Marge who he met in 1962 while he was
serving in the U. S. Army at Ft. Bragg, N.C.
He was a graduate of Rutgers University in 1957 where he was Captain of
the Fencing team and a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity.
Don enjoyed multiple career paths beginning with 21 years at the Xerox
Corporation where he served as one of the lead executives in the Federal
Government Operations Group for domestic and international marketing.
In this position he was instrumental in assisting the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) to
place their innovative pilot product, Alto, into the White House, U.S. Senate, and House of
Representatives. The Alto prototype later became the forerunner for the Apple Mac computer.
Previously he held various product management staff, general management, district and branch
sales field positions in a four state area.
After leaving Xerox in 1981, he established an entrepreneurial career as a marketing, sales,
executive search recruiter, and management Consultant. His clients included USA Today, Ernst
& Young, HP, Apple Computer, and numerous small and medium sized businesses.
Above all, Don’s first priority was the love for his close family. He welcomed the opportunities
to impart the lessons he learned in life with the upcoming generations and often sharing them
with humor so as not to lose his audience. His favorite message was to live life to the fullest with
love as he described in an email before his wife passed in Aug. 2014 as follows:
“Marge and I would listen to music at cocktail hour and constantly reminisce how we have been
blessed living a charmed life enjoying our family and great friends. We have had the pleasure of
extensive travel, good health, and never missing a good meal at the finest of restaurants. We
always laughed and said if we died tomorrow we definitely have no regrets and took full
advantage of our life’s bucket list”.
Upon retiring, Don continued to give back to the community serving as the President of the
Bayfront Condo Association for seven years, Old Naples Association board member and as
Chairman of the Alliance for Naples Bay. He claimed that he remained in those positions
for elongated time periods because “he couldn’t find the younger generation replacements”.
Those who knew him also understood he was very comfortable in leadership positions to fix and
get things done.
Don is survived by his sister in law, Josephine Boulter, nephews and nieces, Craig and Stephanie
Boulter, Allan and Nina Boulter, Karen and Nick Powers, Rich Johnson, ten grand nephews and
nieces and fourteen great grand nephews and nieces.
