"We loved Don Schulz," D-backs assistant hitting coach Mark Grace said. "He always had a way of making you laugh. Just a good person."
Don was in failing health when 2010 rolled around, and even though he knew he did not have much time left before he died he came to camp that year with his brother and sons.
That was also the first year that D-backs legend Luis Gonzalez participated in the camp. Gonzalez had been a hero to Don, and the two posed for a picture at dinner on the opening night of camp.
Less than an hour later, Don passed away in his hotel room.
