I will always remember Uncle Donald for his sense of humor and love of life. He was the type of person that you always smiled around because his good nature "rubbed off" on you. I know that my family, and especially my Dad, will miss him. Love, Nick Banks

Dear Aunt Barbara, Sean, Donny & Jodi,
I wanted to let you know how saddened I was to hear of Uncle Donald's sudden passing. I have so many fond memories of all of you and wish I had the opportunity to spend more time with you.
I will always remember Uncle Donald's smile, huge hugs and wonderful personality. No one could be around him long without having a big smile on their face.
With love to all of you,
Todd

To the Banks Family,
I'm so sorry for the sudden loss of Donny. He was one of the nicest people you could ever meet.
Donny was a very respected and liked person at Electric Boat and will surely be missed by everyone.

I'm sorry for your loss. The tribute the Red Sox gave him last night was appropriate and deserved. I can easily see the entire Banks family together at Pawcatuck Little League being, well, a family.
