Donald Leonard Towne

Tom & Nancy, I learned only recently of the passing of your father. Please accept my belated sympathy, Julie (Traeger) Julian, husband Brendan, and daughter Alice in Richmond, Virginia.

We are so sorry to hear about the death of Don. We know that he is in a better place now. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Don was my friend, my companion, the father of our children and a grandfather and a great grandfather. The children were his pride and joy. I feel like I have lost half of my life. We met when we were 17. We were lucky that we celebrated our 51st anniversary May 8th. They were wonderful years. Don was always there for me and everyone that he came in contact with. I never knew him to have an enemy. He always had a smile for everyone and when they asked how he felt, he always said good...

Don was my brother in law. He maried my sister Millie and created a loving and caring family. He always had time for close and extended family. When we had time together he wold ask me about my work. He gave advice that helped over the years.
He went through life without any complaints about his healh. He knew that his condition wasn't tiptop.
I worked in a job helping people ,he lived his life helping everyone he made contact with a better person. You were my hero Don...

There is so much that I could write about my Uncle Don to express what kind of man he was in my eyes. I could talk about how he used to make us all laugh when he called us by the wrong name in a joking manner or how he would play basketball with us whenever we visited. We all know that he was a man of principles and he had integrity. He loved his family and we all loved him and will miss him very much. In the military we have a long tradition of toasting those that we respect and love when...

Donald and Millie were trully the greatest friends. He was always there to lend a hand and never asking for anything in return. We'll certainly miss him although we know his suffering is over and he's looking down on us. I'll never forget his final call to me before his departure from this world giving me his final words of wisdom about taking care of those precious loving little grandchildren. I know that'll not be our final talk.
Love,
Fran & Johan

I have known Don who is my brother-in-law for 47 years as a quiet intellegent man with a dry sense of humor. He was proud of his family and was a hard worker. He and Paul had a close bond as they were only a year apart. We will miss him.

Tom & Nancy,

Sorry for the loss of your Dad. Our prayers and sympathies are with the two of you and your kids.

He was my brother and about a year older and he was mu best friend. I will also remeber him and pray to him because I knew that he will always be listing to me.
