He is survived by his wife, Nita Whitaker, and three daughters. I am confident that Don and his Heavenly Father are now enjoying each other's voices in a whole new way.

It's a skill to recognize people's voices. Even without Caller ID I can recognize most of my acquaintances when they call me just by hearing them say, "hello." Recognizing God's voice is also a skill, I believe. It takes a knowledge of his character, a desire to understand his ways, practice at talking to him AND hearing him, and willingness to compare your expectations with the actual events. Over time, you begin to realize when you've misheard or misassigned the voice. This is the work of a lifetime.
