You will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by all who waved to you. May you rest in peace.

I met you long ago when my oldest daughter was a few yrs old. Now she's 25 and I loved waving to you every time that I saw you. You always made me smile no matter what kind of day I was having. Thank you for your kindness. RIP Don

You walked many, many miles and made so many people smile! May you rest in peace now! God Bless!

Don, I looked forward to coming to work everyday to see you. From convincing you to wear shoes to supper...all the way to crying when you drew me the butterfly, I fell in love with your funny antics and the way how even when you were upset, a simple hug would make you stop and smile at me.
You touched my heart. Love you. Miss you.
Always,
Arielle
