1 was informed yesterday that H. Donald Funk recently passed away at the age of 84. Don was the
Contra Costa County Auditor-Controller from 1966 through 1978. Don was the Auditor-Controller
when I first started working in the Office and I remember him as being extremely knowledgeable,
dedicated and thorough in his work. Don served a year as the President of the State Association of
County Auditors; he was also a key member of the group that wrote the Accounting Standards and
Procedures for Counties manual.
