Awww man! Don! Such a beautiful soul! Definitely the light in every room he walked into! You will be missed! Sending love to the Dishaw family!

My heart, thoughts and most heartfelt condolences are with you and your family, Ginny! XOXO

I worked with Don for many years years at our Employer Dow Chemical in Gales Ferry Ct. , Don was a great guy, I would see him often at our town beaches in East Lyme where I worked as a seasonal Supervisor for ELPR in my retirement years, we had many chats about our favorite teams , UConn Basketball and Notre Dame Football , Don will be missed by all that knew him

The story of the connection between the Mace and Dishaw families is one I have told so many times. Starting in little Morristown NY and continuing to Niantic Ct. with a mix of Bonita Springs Fla.

May he rest in peace.

Don had an infectious smile and a kind word for everyone, I am so very sorry to hear this, my thoughts and prayers go out to you Ginny and to the family. May he rest in peace, he is watching over you, and all of us, he was one of the kindest men I knew. I my
