I'll miss Uncle Donald, his fearless individuality and uniquely wonderful passion for everything in life. Brenda mentioned his large collection of tennis racquets... perhaps it's a good thing he never played golf!

There's a new star smiling in the sky
Shining of a color never seen before...

God bless you Uncle Donald!
love,
Lester

We will miss you Uncle Donald! I will always remember our endless discussions about tennis. I don't think I know anyone with as many different tennis racquets as you and that includes all of the tennis professionals that I know through my work.

My sincere sympathies to Aunt Bea, Donna, Elaine, Lisa and their families.
