Uncle Donald was the best Uncle a guy could have. What I remember most about him is, if he was around, everyone was laughing. My father used to tell my brothers and I great stories about Uncle Donald. Most probably were not true but they were good all the same. I will miss him very much and I feel very fortunate to have known him.
