Our dear Louise, Sorry to have missed Donnie's service as we've been out of town all weekend. Such a sweetheart and a joy to hug! And we know your times with your best friend were rich and absolutely FUN. Donnie always made us feel like we were the number one people in his life as he did with everyone he met! Never judgmental; always happy even through his illness. What an outstanding man! The true Mayor!! Much love from both of us, Kim and Zab. ❤

Don and I were fellow C.G. Auxiliarists for 20 years. It was my privilege to help guide his retirement from the Coast Guard Auxiliary on one of our monthly meetings when I was Flotilla Commander and to highlight his vast experience and gentle nature especially when talking about safety and risk management issues.

My Heartfelt Sympathy goes out to Louise and her family at the loss of an old St. Paul's Friend, Don Steadman. I am so sad to learn of his passing this morning. We shared some great times together both at St. Paul's and later in the Covington area. R.I.P. my friend, you will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved you.

For Donnie. He was a cousin who I loved. Some of my earliest childhood memories of him and my other Steadman cousins swimming, running around in the woods.
My heartfelt sympathy to Lou and my cousins. This went down quickly and hurts.
I can hear his laughter in my head.
