Are you certain it was his heart?  Don was in very good cardio shape.  He was a season ticket holder, big fan of the MU BB program and a wonderful husband, father and good guy.

Apparently he was on the treadmill and his heart just stopped. Tragic. MU grad of Journalism in mid 1970s.

Knew "Doak" well from my MU days. Two guys across the hall in Schroeder freshman and sophomore years were also from Detroit Brother Rice High and were good friends of Don so he was always around th 5th floor.

Very sad news, he was a really good guy.

RIP Don.

Walker was an honest broker, who wrote what he thought based on the facts he had.  Despite being a MU alum, he had no problem calling out the good with the bad.  That rubbed enough people here the wrong ways over the years.

RIP...to an honest man that reported the right way.
