Ducky was my first love back in the 50's. We married in 1959. We were very young and the marriage did not last but our friendship continued for many years. We had a son Donald Jr. Which very sadly died from cancer two years ago. I am deeply sorry for this two beautiful girls, Cindy & Sheri and his wonderful wife, and of course his brother Walter. His was a special man and his son also had his father's ability and quick wit, loved to make people smile. I truly believe they are together with Grama & Grampa O. Love to All Rose

My thoughts and prayers go out to Donald to Donald family and friends. Although I never met Donald i have had the pleasure of knowing Trudy, and Sheri. They were and are sweet beautiful women. So I want to send a special prayer and love to his daughter's Sheri, and Cindy. Who have been through more heartache then any kids that lose there parents. God Bless Donald for serving our country, and trying to make the world a better place. R.I.P.
