Donnie G or better known to me as Mr.G!! A great man and a HUGE fan. He never missed a game weather it was Troy High hoop or Baseball. He was always there. Supporting not only his son but even treating a special group of us like sons!! He always gave great advice and a majority of the time it worked!! Later on as we got older he rarely missed a softball game and even coached his boys to a championship!! He was the man, told it like it was at all times!! Mr. G will be greatly missed!! Yutty...

Don will always hold such a special place in mine and my boys heart. You gave us unconditional love, support and kindness. You have been one of my best friends for over 35 years. We had so much fun laughing and looking at old pictures reliving our memories. I will miss our talks and most of all I will miss your laugh. Thank you for being my friend. Till we meet again my friend, RIP. Love always.....
