I last time saw Donal quite a few years ago as I was walking through a parking lot in Freehold. I didn't see him at first but he made it a point to come over to me with a very warm and friendly greeting - as he always did. So sorry to hear about his much too soon passing. My sincere condolences to his family.

Donal was a good friend during those awakening years that happen in middle school, and though I haven't seen him since, I remember him as a generous, cheerful, dependable soul who made the tough task of growing up much easier. My sympathies go out to his family.

A life long best friend.Donnie was the best man at my wedding. We had nothing but fun no matter what we were doing. He was uncle Donnie to all my kids. I was very close to his family back in jersey. No matter where he was he always kept in touch. We will all miss him Jeff and Alicia West and all my kids and grandkids. God Bless Donnie's mom.
