Dear Ruth and Family: Only one click on my computer and there I saw that Don has passed away. Rose and I are so sorry for your loss and all of your family. We will pray for his beautiful soul and for all your wonderful family. So many memories especially in West Scranton High School where he used to have all of us laughing so many times. God will surely be good to him. In prayerful sympathy, Rose and Paul Panusky

Dear Aunt Ruth and family, I'm so sorry for your loss of Uncle Donald. I know that I haven't spend time with you all, but I remember stories from my dad. He was a great man and heaven gained a beautiful angel. Love you all!!

Aunt Ruth, Karen and rest of the Harris family. I have had very little contact with Don the past years. The word that comes to my mind when I think of Uncle Don is "Laughter". I remember his laugh. He enjoyed life. My prayers as well as Debi's are with you during this time. One day we will once again hear Don laugh. Love you all, Roger Jonker
