I only learned today when I went to the Barber Shop that Donald was gone. I cannot tell you how much he will be missed. I had been very ill several years ago and Donald always stopped me to ask about my health and to discuss Carolina sports. He was a blessing to me and to everyone around him.

Mrs. Tilley, Donald cut our son's hair just the way we all liked it and he always looked forward to seeing him and speaking with him. We were honored to know him, his smile and are saddened that we won't see him any longer. We have been praying for you and your girls as you grieve his passing.

Family, Donald cut my hair for over 10 years, and I drove 70 miles round-trip to let him do so. We talked cars, trucks, tractors sports, and fishing. I loved this man. Blessings to you all, and don't mourn the loss, enjoy the memories.

Amy and family,I have jsut recently heard of Donald's death, I am so sorry and will keep you and the girls in my thoughts and prayers.

It has been years since I saw Duck, but he was always a great guy with a warm smile. My thoughts are with your family at this most difficult time.

I am so sorry for the loss of Donald. He had been cutting my hair for the last year. In that year he has become a great friend. He let me bring my boys to his house to fish several times and was always ready to talk football. When I heard this morning I felt nothing but numbness. I cannot believe that he is gone. I am going to truely miss my "Buddy."

Our deepest sympathy is with you at this time. Please know that your family is in our prayers and that of our church.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...
