I worked with Donald when he was at Boston Gas. After he left there and began operating cranberry bogs in Wareham I spent many enjoyable days visiting him on Blackmoor Pond Rd.
I especially enjoyed his annual and traditional clambake; corn on the cob, steamers and lobsters, a sand pit, a wood fire, beach stones and fresh seaweed. With Donald and all his Wareham buddies, they were grand times.
I can't remember ever seeing him when he wasn't laughing or wearing that big grin of his. He was a great guy to have as a friend.
My sincere condolences to his family and many friends.
