Not sure what to say?

Donald worked for my mom and dad (Jim and Carol Harless) at Harless Wholesale as long as I can remember. As a child I spent many many hours there at the warehouse growing up. Donald is a cherished memory. Always smiling, always willing to help, and a very sweet and hardworking man. My mom and dad thought the world of him also. Donald and Lois were highly regarded by my family. I am praying for comfort for Donald's family.

My partner of 25 years, Penny Edwards, as well as I and our son Alex Kirtley wish to express our deepest sorrow over the loss of my stepfather at this time. Alex and I will be there at the visitation to comfort Mom and our family members on Sunday and to say goodbye to Donald, who was like a father to me and my sister Karen. He was well-loved and will be very deeply missed by everyone who knew him.

Jeff and Kevin, Sending you our deepest sympathy for the loss of your Dad. May you find peace in knowing he is in a better place. Love, Kenny an Marilynn
