When the illness turned into leukemia and hope gave out, he spent his time tidying up his work and seeing friends. At the end, he died surrounded by family members singing rounds, piping Brahms through a lap-top computer. . . Don Schon was the consultant's consultant -- a giraffe among the other animals, forever on the outlook for something new.". …
