I am truly sorry for your loss. Donald and I have been friends since our kindergarten days at Smith Street School on Smith Hill. We stayed close over the years after I moved to California. I talked to him on a monthly basis for years and will miss him dearly. I wish I had had the opportunity to meet all of you.
