I worked alongside Don during his final week's prior to retiring from WBZ-TV in 1983 and they were some of the most rewarding, and I must say hilarious of my entire career. His selflessness, high spirits and spontaneity were were infectious: he delightedly all those around him. He launched dozens into the profession of broadcast meteorology, of which he was duly proud, and educated (subliminally) via his precient, insightful and enthusiastic on-air presentations the intricate and capricious nature of weather to millions througout New England. Don was a pioneer. God Bless him, and deepest sympathy i extend to his family. Paul Cousins, Portland, Maine.

My friend, Don Krus (who is now deceased) went to Boston approx. 20 yrs. ago and met with your Dad. They were so impressed with his warm welcome and special personality as we talked with him in his store. He will be so missed by many of us who met him and enjoyed his weather reports everday that he worked with WBZ. Our condolences to you all and just know that he has brought all the sunshine and warmth that he often talked about while broadcasting, into his special heavenly place. God's Blessings to you all and look up towards the Heavenly place where he is and smile. He will love you for it.\ Bud and Alice Holland It seems unbelievable that Don Kent is no longer with us.
