I knew Donald from my father and softball. I also use to wait on him Applebee's. He and Nancy were always very nice to me. His smile could light up a room. He will be missed by many. My family's thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I worked with Don at General Electric. He was always so well liked and respected by all who knew him but also so much fun to be around. We remember dances at the DuPont Rec Hall many years ago when we were all young and the fun that was had by all. Cherish your memories of the good times. Your family is in our prayers at this time.
