Paula and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Don was a wonderful boss and an all-around great guy.

Don Pace and his lovely bride, Paula, came into our life here in Porto Cima and we were and have been close friends ever since! Blessed were we in meeting and getting to know them! Sharing wonderful times and occasions along life’s way! We are devastated to have lost such a wonderful person which makes our times together all the more precious. With loving caring, Bill and Elaine

Don was one of my HS friends. He was always so kind to me and yes, had his famous laugh, as well. I am sure he and Jesus are laughing in joy together along with his family and friends who welcomed him at the gates of Heaven! My sorry for you, his family, as I know he will be missed sorely. I will praying for you all.

My prayers are with Don’s family. I graduated from high school with him, and always thought he was so handsome. After reading his obituary, I realize he was much more than a pretty face!

I was a neighbor and good friend of Don back in our middle teens when we lived on Martigney in South County (St. Louis) Lots of good memories for sure playing baseball, basketball, corkball, fuzzball etc. Even though later we lost contact with each other the memories I will always cherish. RIP friend and condolences to your family.
