Mary, Rob and family,

I´m so sorry about Donald´s passing. I grew up in Huber Heights and had the good fortune of being able to know Donald. I remember that even though he was soft spoken, that when he did speak it was full of wisdom. And I remember how welcoming he was, and his kindness.

Please accept my deepest condolences.
