Not sure what to say?

Dearest and Daresay “oldest” childhood friends and neighbors. Two doors down, at 386, Brenda, Shirley, Billy, Donnie, and I all grew up together. I remember Donnie’s being a few years older than the rest of us, and was “cool.” And what’s called today “”Eye Candy.” Brenda and I stayed in contact for a while (Did I go to your wedding?) and when I flew in/out of Westover on AF air evac missions and field exercises. But then we lost touch. I am so sorry to learn of Donnie’s death. My heart...

Don was one of the best dealers at the route 47 flea market. I loved going over every Sunday, Don and his son Ben were my first stop at 5AM. Don always found great items to sell at the market, and always very fair with his prices. RIP old friend.

We loved the stories Don told of his curious finds and the history behind them. He will forever remain in our hearts.

Don, was always a pleasure to talk to on Sundays at The Field, and I have fond memories of hanging with his Son Ben talking outside there home while Don was feeding the local stray cats! Good guy! Is condolences to Ben and his family!

My Condolences .always respected his passion for antiqueing..and that goes for Ben also..

I remember Don from his scouting service with Troop 38/438 in Fairview. My dad served as scoutmaster and Don was one of the assistant´s. He exemplified the scout motto, always positive and willing to help anyone. My dad valued Don´s presence in the troop leadership and as a friend. May his memory be a blessing and may he rest peacefully.

My father Ray Burke and I would always see Don at every Brimfield antique show. He was usually riding around on his bike. We often saw Ben collecting sporting memorabilia . My condolences to Ben and the family. Tom Burke

Brenda and family, So sorry to hear of your loss. So many long ago memories of your family in Fairview. Neighbors and friends! I remember how I loved to see Donnie"s fantastic car pulling in and out of your driveway!! My deepest sympathy to you all.
