Not sure what to say?

I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to know Don and experience his wonderful humor and kindness.

The Monroe´s...
Don, dad to Joe in 1962. Then he was granddaddy to Joe´s sons:
Michael in 1995.
Daniel in 1998.
Nathan in 2004.
Then Joe´s 1st Grandson:
Noah in 2010 who was the first child

Where these young men started.

Don and I worked together at the State Port and he was a valuable asset in his assistance to the varied functions
of the Port, Don was someone I could always count on. Every spring he would he come in and tell me he needed
some time off and I'd say why ? And he would say that the dogwoods and I'd say so? Well when the dogwoods
are blooming it meant the spots are running too..

Gotta go !! I'd say , have at it.

Don was a regular at Cardiac Rehab. He will be missed by all.

SGT. Monroe was the first supervisor I had when I joined WPD. I could not have ask for a nicer and helpful person to guide me along my career. He always seemed to have a smile on his face, never saw him upset. He was such a credit to Law Enforcement and WPD. He will be missed by all that knew and loved him.

I don’t know that he realized what a positive impact and role model he was to so many, especially those on the Wilmington Police Department, and especially me as a young police officer. Thank you for your dedication Sergeant Monroe. Rest easy now.
