I will remember Donald as "Bingo Bango" and a kind-hearted person who when i first began working with the Boston Passport Agency, was the one who reached out with friendliness. He was informative, funny, and someone who always stayed connected with people. He will be missed. My prayers go out to his family.

Aug. 11, 2008 ~ I just found out today of Donald's passing on. Donald was an early confidante of mine in my early days (1994) at the Boston Passport Agency. He truly was a remarkable person. He could make me laugh or cry with his stories of the abbey he visited out in Wrentham, I believe it was. He'll be missed!

I just was informed of my Donald's passing. I called him "my Donald" because at the time of his employment, there were 2 other Donald's in the office, Don B, Big Don and my Donald. Donald had such a gift of knowledge and willingness to share. He was generous in his recordings for the blind. He and I visited Terry's gravesight together (Terry was a former supervisor at Boston Passport) We both enjoyed hanging out with our former Regional Director when he made the leap to "lay deacon" and assistant to the Cardinal. Oh boy, guess I can stop wondering what he is up to and why he hasn't contacted me. My best to the family and know that Donald was loved and appreciated by his Boston Passport Family.

I just learned of Donald's passing. We worked together at the Passport Agency and I was very fond of Donald - or Bingo Bango as he was affectionatley known here. We kept in contact after he left the Agency and I do miss his phone calls. My deepest sympathy to you and your families.

Debbie,
So sorry for your loss. Haven't seen or spoken to you in years, but think of you when I am passing through CT on my way to PA. I know how deeply you always cared for your brother and I know you did all you could do for him and hope your memories will carry you through this sad time.

Donald lived his life to the best of his ability. His recent years posed many hard days for his brothers and sister due to his physical conditon.You showed him the utmost respect and care.
I bet these recent years gave you a sense of gratitude for your spouses as they faced Don's illness with you. It was very difficult for all of you.
Praise to the people at Milton Health Care and his Hospice.
And now, his " Passport" allows him entry to a much better place.
