Dear Nancy, Colin and Damon,

I was so sorry to hear of Don's passing. He was a good person with a kind heart...and in my memory, a bit mischievous and funny. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Best Regards,

Janice

Nancy,
As you know, Don was a dear friend since third grade at St Mary's School. We often got into trouble together through the years and we had a wonderful friendship together. With Dale Butler, my brother Johnny and myself, we enjoyed shooting pool at our house; and also Seaside beaches together; staying at his parents cabin (your home now). Don became a regular at my house; known only as "it's ME" when he came in. That was Donnie!! He was "special". With Love, Al Bertolacci
