We are saddened to hear of his passing, he will be very missed. Sending our love and condolences to his friends and family.

My deepest sympathies to Donald’s family. He will be missed by many. I had the pleasure of knowing Donald for many years as his nurse when I worked at his doctor’s office in Moosup. He always had a hug and a smile for me when he came in and would run up to me whenever he saw me outside of the office just to say hi and give me one of his special hugs. Please know that you are all in my prayers and thoughts. May your wonderful memories help you all in your time of need. RIP Donald till we meet again.
