I am deeply sorry for your loss.
I started to work with him more closely not so long ago in the Working Group Safety Risk Management.
Working with Don was a pleasure. He was very knowledgeable, but also very modest.
I wish you as his family and those who were dear to him strenght in these difficult times.

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Dr. Don Arendt, a good friend and remarkable safety professional. My deepest condolences to his family and all who had the pleasure to work with him at the SM-ICG, the ICAO SMP, and the FAA. Don’s role in the development of aviation safety management worldwide cannot be overstated. Aviation safety is forever indebted to him.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I did not have the pleasure of meeting Don in person, however, I had the honor of working with him virtually in various forums, and each of those meetings was marked with Don's experience and professionalism. May he rest in peace.

I would like to offer prayers and condolences to colleagues and Don Family.

Losing Don is sad news for all of us; its absence is strongly felt within the aviation community. Beyond his respectful personality and his kindness, his wisdom keeps his memory alive. I was honored as a member of working group on safety risk management within the ICAO Safety management panel, to have been leaded by Don   , over the past two years. Its ability to lead the group towards consensus besides to its intelligent approach have a great contribution to the promotion and strengthen of the group's commitment.
I was personally touched, along all safety risk management working group teleconferences, by his ability in reducing complexity and in building a consensus while focusing on the reliability of the task team deliverables. Not least of which, the absence of Don was strongly felt at the last teleconference of safety risk management group, held on the 2nd of November .The memory of Don will be missed but I'm confident that its overarching contribution to enhance global aviation safety keeps him alive in our heart and in our minds

I would like to offer my deepest sympathy to Don’s family and colleagues. I met Don in one of the SMICG meetings. He was very knowledgeable and always willing to impart knowledge. It was a pleasure interacting with him in the SMP meetings and his departure is felt by all of us. We appreciate all his contributions, not only in panel meetings, but the entire aviation community. May his family be comforted and may his soul rest in peace.
