Kit Mill (After visiting Don on September 14): I visited Don and DJ at their wonderful home in Denville yesterday.  His daughter Beth was there.  No hospice person was on that morning.  I stayed for just under an hour.  DJ and Beth were gracious and, I think, glad I was there.  It was a positive distraction  Don is confined/strapped in a wheel chair.  He is unable to talk.  He stares unblinking, straight ahead.  He has a hard time swallowing.  I'm guessing his weight is around 130 pounds, very gaunt.  I believe he recognized me and understood why I was there.  I said I was there in behalf of the Class of 1966.  I had an engaging conversation with DJ and Beth.  They are positive and resigned. I got up, kissed Don on the forehead, he stuck out his hand, I shook it, and left.

Bob Nahas: Our dear friend Don McCabe died this morning on his 50th wedding anniversary. His wish was to celebrate that day. He wasn’t able to celebrate as he died this morning, but he knew he had made it, and he did send DJ flowers. I think many of you will agree that there wasn’t a finer person or a nicer guy in our class. Also see the condolences page.

Tiny Morgan: We were so fortunate to have Don as a classmate and friend. Thank the Lord for our 50th; at least I got to visit with him for a while. Also see the condolences page.

John Edie: How sad ... Don and I were Freshman roommates and he has been a dear friend ever since.

Ernest Hutton: Don was a friend with whom I always loved to catch up- not to reminisce but to talk about his ongoing passion for ensuring ethics in an increasingly unethical world. How fitting that he closed out his life with his 50th wedding anniversary (building up to it with our 50th with him as a class). I'm sorry I'm now out of the country and unable to celebrate his life in person. Sympathy and best wishes to the McCabe family. Also see the condolences page.

Turk Thacher: Very sad news - what a great guy. In addition to being a wonderful person, he made a major impact on many organizations with his work. Here is just one example of Don's work. Joe Cox, the Headmaster when Don consulted with Haverford still talks about Don. Tiny Morgan adds, "Turk makes an important point. Don's contribution to ethics and morality went far beyomd the borders of our Class."

Rick Jones: I only had occasional contact with Don since moving to the West Coast, but his work on ethics and cheating was certainly groundbreaking  He represents a wonderful example of someone who was able to change directions in mid-career and make a significant impact.  My thoughts go out to DJ and all his family.

Jim Parmentier: Up through the Spring of 2013, as part of the required Week 1 work for my clinical research students at Rutgers I assigned a link to a podcast of Don being interviewed on NPR about his research on student plagiarism. Unfortunately, the link doesn't seem to work now. Perhaps someone more computer literate than I can find it in the NPR files).  In it's place I give you the link to some of Don's writings and interviews on the topic as they appear on the website of the International Center for Academic Integrity, which he founded.
