Donald will be remembered in our prayers.
Please extend our sympathy to Joan.
A Mass will be celebrated in his memory. Love Terry and Wally Footit, Fl.

Don was a truly special person: kind and generous with his talents, gifts and time for everyone around him. He had the biggest heart of anyone I've known. Tom and I have wonderful memories of our dinners out with him and especially the huge sundaes he'd make us for dessert -- they put Friendly's sundaes to shame!
He will be missed in this life by many, but knowing he is at peace with the Lord he loved so much gives us great comfort and joy.

Paul LaValley Music with Sandra Vella have been entertaining at Wingate E.L. For five years. We have gotten Donald to participate in the show as his love for music was quite evident. To our dismay, he was not at Friday, July 3 rd 's show and with much sadness we read of his passing in today's paper. He was a joy to engage in conversation and quite witty with us. I remember him in the past at OL of Hope as I would sometimes attend Mass there . We are blessed to have had the pleasure of knowing...

Will miss you Uncle. You are with Grandma, Grandpa, Philip and Dad now. Love you,
Chris

My condolences to Donald's family. I always enjoyed chatting with Donald, since I have been volunteering at Wingate for the past few years
