Thursday, April 21, 2016, friends and fellow trustees honored Don for his long service to Philanthropy — at the Bernsen Foundation, with the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, and for his numerous personal gifts of time and expertise to many local organizations. Proclamations honoring Don's personal and professional philanthropy were presented by Mayor Dewey Bartlett, the Tulsa City Council and the Tulsa County Commissioners.

In November 2020, Voices of Oklahoma added Don to its collection of Oklahoma oral histories. This link will take you to the full interview collected by VOK founder John Erling.
