Don was such a lovely man. He always had a smile on his face. He would always say hi and say words of encouragement to me when I started working at Dorothy Nolan. My son knew him well from going to school there. He loved him! I was so thrilled when I heard Himself & Hillary were together, two amazing people! I loved seeing all their happy photos together, always smiling! Don is Hillary's guardian angel now! Rest in peace Don!

I was so shocked and saddened when I heard about Don's passing. I thought he would live forever! He was a very special and important part of Katie's, Brandon's and my life. We will forever remember him with love.

Dear Don,
We met you almost a decade ago where you were a welcoming face as we entered the school. You remained that way every year to follow! Thanks for always taking the time to share a kind word to all you came in contact with! Thanks for making our friend so very happy. Keep an eye on her and your family always. We picture you truly enjoying special reunions in Heaven. They are lucky to have you! You will be missed.

MY CONDOLENCES TO DONNIE'S FAMILY. I WAS A FELLOW UMPIRE AND ENJOYED WORKING WITH DONNIE "BASEBALL". THAT WAS OUR NICKNAME FOR HIM AMONG HIS UMPIRE FRIENDS. ALWAYS A SMILE ON HIS FACE.

When my son was in kindergarten, he talked about "Mr. W" every day. Mr. W said their table was the best. Mr. W opened his yogurt. Mr. W got him a napkin. And from our perspective, Mr. W helped him through his first year of school. He was a kind, friendly face in the cafeteria, where our son often felt the most worried and nervous. Please know that his kindness touched my son's life, and our life by extension, and we'll always think of him fondly. Our son was so fortunate to call Mr. W his friend at school. We are so sorry for your loss.
