Uncle Don, Kyle and I shall always remember you and all the "long talks" while waiting for our wash to dry. I will miss hearing you cough in the morning along with you coming up the steps when I am baking cookies. The angels and Nan are so very lucky to have you join them. We will miss you so much.

To the entire Golden Family,
Who could forget Donny. I remember loads of great times, with the Golden Twins, from Hay elementary school and WHS. I graduated in 1966, but the feeling during those days, was that we were all family K - 12. It is so sad that we grow up and depart from each other. Kenny, Bonnie and Danny, all my best. Donny RIP my friend.
Always

Donald, our card games won't be the same. We had so much fun playing blackjack. Our Aunt Katie will be so sad & disappointed that she will not be able to see you anymore. We are going to miss your personality & humor. You left your family way too early and you will be missed by all. Please keep a special watch over your brother Dan. He is going to be lost without you. Our hearts go out to the entire Golden family.
Love, Rudy & Kathy Rodrigues

RIP Don. I've known you and Dan since 6th grade. I could never tell who was who, so I called both of you "Goldy".It's sad when people our age pass on much too early. I'm glad I got to see both of you 2 years ago.

You are going to be missed deeply....you were a fun,loving,caring little brother. Clara and I know you are in good hands now with Mom and Dad. Out of all the fun times we had....the one I remember the most was at Dorney Park on the flagstand,when the race car hit the stand....and I turned around and you were already running straight for the park and left me standing there laughing at you. We love you Donald!!!! Thank you for all the good times and great memories.
