DONALD BYRD SCHOLL… Don… Dad… DB… D-Byrd… Graddy… he had many monikers, but he was really one of a kind. Don passed away early morning March 27, in his sleep, in his own bed, in his own home, and with loved ones at his bedside.

Don was born February 24, 1936, to Katherine Parker Scholl and Robert Hargest Scholl in Englewood, NJ. He spent the better part of his youth growing up in Darien, CT and attended Vermont Academy (Class of ’55).

Don attended Haverford College where, by good fortune, he met the love of his life, Peggy Justice, an Agnes Irwin debutante. As fate and love would have it, Donald graduated in 1959, already married and father to their newborn daughter, Sandra.

Graduating with a BA in Economics, Don set out to earn “a living wage” wherever he was guided. His career bounced from salesman to public relations to manufacturing, until he found his true calling in the early 70’s, management training and consulting to the North American Certified Public Accounting industry.

He was bad at math and knew nothing about accounting, so how did he succeed in the CPA industry? Like EF Hutton…he listened…and he communicated, quite well. For 45 years, Don ran his own consulting firm advising CPA partners how to run their businesses better, became a thought leader in the industry, and ultimately was named one of the 100 Most Influential People in Public Accounting.

Don had a passion for do-it-yourself projects and built numerous out-buildings on his properties, teaching his kids how to wield a hammer along the way. Don also had a passion for driver’s cars, both old and new. With his son-in-law, Brian, he renovated two classic MGs, rallied with Peg, and won numerous awards at car shows.

They traveled extensively as a couple and family. Seeing the world was important to Don’s understanding of other cultures, and to being a good steward of the earth. Following his lead, all the children explored the world themselves, living for some time far away, but somehow all returned to West Chester to settle and raise their own families close by.

Our family knows personally the several former owners of funeral homes purchased" Bellavecchia's, so we knew we wanted their family-owned home to take care of my men's funeral. Joe Wuldn't have been more help ful, helping + quiding my brother & I through all the options, talveling including cremation. His patience and follow-up was excellent, and his Staff was a huge help at the church service!
