They had many happy moments together going to dances and listening to their favorite singer Elvis. Their marriage was like this analogy, “I make our marriage organized, you make it outstanding. I make our marriage practical, you make it perfect. I keep it grounded, you give it wings. I love you.” (wishesmessages.com)
Donald had many interests, he was an avid horseshoe player, loved his motorcyles, and enjoyed walking and playing cards and being in Florida for the Winter.
