Doug was my kind of man. He was kind and gentle and we spoke often of our Boston Terriers. He will be missed by all who knew him

Dear Donner Family,
I offer my sincere condolances on the loss of your father.
I met him years ago through my parents, Janet and Paul Ely.
Often we would go to breakfast together after daily Mass when I was visiting. Your Dad was always making the time jovial and friendly. He was such a good friend to my parents, and they are deeply saddened by his death.
I know your memories will give you comfort.
Sincerely, Gail Ely Masocco
