Guest Book
My heartfelt sympathy to Uncle Don's family. I remember his warmth and laugh. My grandfather always laughed when he shared stories of him eating egg sandwiches in the truck on the way to putting up lightning rods when he was a young man. I've shared stories with many of his loyal customers who were patients of mine. He'll be remembered as a hard working and loving man.
Rest in peace Uncle Don

Lisa, Mom, Linda and Tom are thinking of you during this difficult time.
I always loved when our family would make the trip from Windsor Locks to go see Auntie Josie and Uncle Don. Here are some of my fondest memories of those visits.... As a 10 year old, I couldn't believe how much Auntie Josie looked like my mommy, Carmella, I learned how to play frisbie baseball in your front yard with Uncle Don as the referee yelling run, run, run... Lynn had a wicked crush on my brother Tom, (her cousin, tee, hee) and Uncle Don's booming and infectious laugh. Those were fun...

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Uncle Don. How blessed I was to have grown up around such a warm and loving man. Both Uncle Don and my own late father, Paul, were both amazing family men. I keep coming back to how lucky I was to have grown up around these two great role models. I will never forget Uncle Don and pass along my condolences to Lynne, Don, David, and Cindy. Thank you Uncle Don for all that you did for me!!! You showed me the way!

We just lost Uncle Don! A huge loss to an amazing family. He had a great sense of humor and a crackling laugh. Was always a fun guy at all the family gatherings. I remember him as a coach and mentor during my youthful days. We will miss him and know he is with his wife Josie whom he grieved for some time after her death in 2002. God Bless Uncle Don. Thanks for the memories. You lived well!!
