Dear Kim and boys,

Dear Kim and family,
Words cannot express the intensity of Romayne and my sadness when we became aware of Don's passing. We can't imagine what it is like to experience this. Knowing you I have faith you will find the strength to carry on. Although I never met your husband, in talking with you for the time we worked together, as well as reading the obituary, I know he was a wonderful person who touched many people in a special way. Please take whatever time is needed to grieve and understand that you will continue to be connected to your husband as you see the influence Don had "and will continue to have" on the boys as they grow to be men. Romayne and my thouhts are with you,your boys and your and Don's extended family. Please take care and when the time is right, I look forward to talking with you.

Dear Marilyn and Don,
I hope you remeber me Marilyn, It's Dottie from the diner days - You, Connie and Pat were my mentors when I was only 17 yrs old. You took me under your wing and showed me the ropes. Well now I'm 52 yrs old and I have never forgotten the pride with which you spoke about your children and your husband! Being a Mom and Grandma now, I understand that pride. I also, at this time hope that I never feel the pain you, as a Mom certainly feel now. May God grant you the strength to get through this difficult time and know that there are people out there who love you, and will always be there - just as you have been for so many. Cherish the memories and enjoy every day you spend with those precious grand children, as that may be the greatest gift a son can ever give his Mom.
My heart breaks for you,
Love, Dottie.

In thinking back to grammar school at St Gregs, I always remember Donald with his head into a book , usually something like dungeons and dragons. What I remember most is that he was the nicest guy , very serious but full of laughter and silly things. Donald will surely be missed as he was one of those people that when he touched your heart with the smallest of kind acts it was something that would be remembered forever. My prayers go out to the family during this time of sorrow.

My the Lord surround you all~ May he keep you all safe, cover you with his love, see you & guide through the darkness. Though your hearts are empty, memories forever etched in your hearts. A man of honor, a man of love, strength, compassion. True to his family, true himself, not only keeping his family safe, keeping a city as safe a he could. Many people never had the chance to meet Officer Hassiak yet they feel the sadness & loss in the Community. I am one of those people. There are no words to ease the pain, or even comfort all of you. May the Lord hold you all up during this time of sorrow. My deepest Sympathy.

I am very sorry to hear about Don. I graduated with Don from Immaculate High School back in '87. I remember Don and I were cast members some of the school plays and musicals back then. Although Don and I were not close friends, I know he was a very genuine and all around nice guy. I will remember him fondly.
My thoughts and prayers are with Don and his family in this difficult time.

I am so used to seeing you around town waving and chatting that the past several days of passing the half masted flags still has me in disbelief that you are no longer with us. You are a kind and loyal friend and an inspiration for all of us to strive further and always lend a hand and a smile. I never personally met Kim and the children but the light in your eyes bespoke the happiness and fulfillment of your family. May God bring you peace and strength to Kim and the kids to endevour forward in the light of your spirit. Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti DO! G'bye Chorus Buddy!
