Donald Downer

What a gift Don was to so many, my family was very close to him many many years ago, he baptized my daughter 49 years ago, in the backyard of my parents home. His love and devotion to God and our Catholic faith, brought my whole family so much closer to God. Bless you sweet Don.

The first person to cry, when he heard about Don´s death, was God. "Good night, Sweet Prince. And may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest." From "Hamlet" Requiescat in Pace, Dear Friend. I will miss you. Dan Bonner

I worked with Don more than 35 years ago in what was my most treasured job, Harbinger. How thrilling it was to be on this walk to so thoroughly be with people who´d been marginalized. To always examine the value of "going toward" humans. We all supported the mission. Don was an admired team member.

Dear Rose, Mary Ann and Family, I cherish the time Don and I worked together and remember his generosity, intelligence and unfailing good humor. My deepest sympathies. Gilmary Bauer, RSM

My deepest condolences Rose and family. Don was a special light to so many people. He will be greatly missed. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers as you navigate through this difficult time. Hugs to all of you.

Don was a longtime customer here at Krupp Farms. Always looked forward to chatting with him each Summer. He was so concerned about me after Paul´s death. I will always remember his kindness. Will miss him this summer. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

Rose and family, I am so sorry to hear of Don´s passing. I will remember Don as a kind and gentle man who had a humorous side to him. And every chestnut I see or eat will bring back his memory. Praying that all your happy memories will give you comfort during this difficult time.
