Diane & Paul,
Paul though I did not know your uncle I felt like I did. Diane kept me up to date on his illness. My sympathy goes out to you. Hold on to all your memories and good times you had with your uncle. Know now that he is suffering no longer.

I worked with Donald when he was at Boston Gas. After he left there and began operating cranberry bogs in Wareham I spent many enjoyable days visiting him on Blackmoor Pond Rd.
I especially enjoyed his annual and traditional clambake; corn on the cob, steamers and lobsters, a sand pit, a wood fire, beach stones and fresh seaweed. With Donald and all his Wareham buddies, they were grand times.

I can't remember ever seeing him when he wasn't laughing or wearing that big grin of his. He was a great guy to have as a friend.

My sincere condolences to his family and many friends.
