Not sure what to say?

My sincere condolences on the loss of Don. I met him back in the 80's while working at my father's liquor store in Woonsocket. Don always had a smile on his face and a kind word to say about everyone. He was so proud of winning TV's from McLaughlin & Moran for being accident free every year. Don was a true gentleman!

We were just informed of your loss. Our sympathy to you, Laureen and the now young adults. Our prayers and our love are with the family. Uncle Richard and Aunt Monique
