Not sure what to say?

I will miss my priest, mentor, spiritual director, prayer partner, cooking bud and most of all my friend. As I continue this journey of life, I will remember the sacraments (all of God's beauty) as signs of God's invisible grace as Father so eloquently shared in his Rollo. How he blessed our lives. He will be greatly missed.

A man of great wisdom, good shepherd, gathering together people of all faiths...

Father Don was a wonderful pastor and a loving, caring person. He touched the lives of all that knew him. He will be greatly missed.

May his soul rest in peace. We
miss him so. The good thing is this...he is not suffering any more. He rests in the arms of Jesus. For that we should be glad.

Like Father Mike Cloney said, Father Don was an excellent pastor and very kind to all people that he met. I loved his sermons very much and this thoughtfulness to all people was greatly admired.

Father Don was a consoling confessor and a gentle spirited bearer of the Good News. May he rest now from his many years of laboring in the vinyard.Freeman & Teresa Blake

Father Don was one of the smartest and most compassionate men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. May the Lord Bless you and keep you and his divine grace and glory shine upon forever. The Lussier Family

Father Don will be remebered dearly for his gentle nature and sense of humor. -The Padilla Family

Humor, peace, guidance, openness, and non-judgement were Fr. Don's key traits as I remember him. I shed a tear yesterday, today, and will tomorrow as I think of hiss passing.
