To my family and many friends:
I've cried many tears and laughed many times remembering the wonderful, loving man I married. I don’t know how I would have made it through this past year without the love and support from so many friends. I am so grateful for my family, dozens of cousins, and an even bigger circle of friends! I was blessed to have Dave as my husband and continue to be blessed with so many good people in my life. Thank God for friends - some I see often, others not so often, but all of you are always, always close to my heart. My husband can rest in peace knowing that I continue to be surrounded by love, laughter and good times. Thank you for helping me through this terribly sad time.
Love,
Lisa

Dear Donaldson Family,
I just found out about Dave's passing and I am truly saddened by this sad news. Dave has done work for me and some of my family and we all agreed that he is one of the nicest people we have had the pleasure of knowing. He was a great guy and a gentleman. I will miss calling on him when something needs his expertise. May the peace and love of Jesus be with you all. Angie Luksik Upper St. Clair Pa

I just found out about Dave's passing today and my heart is just broken. Dave did a lot of work in the apartment unit that I live in. I work from home and didn't get much done when Dave was here...he was such an engaging person, I couldn't help but sit and talk with him, while he worked. He was such a funny man...I especially loved hearing the stories about the nursing home!!! He will be greatly missed and his wife and children will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace, Dave.

We enjoyed talking to Dave and working with him here at S-2 Properties. He was a great person. Everyone at the office and the apartment complex really liked like him.

Having David as a lifelong friend was truly an honor. Growing up we were the best of friends and that friendship is somthing that I will always cherish as a fond memory. Even though this untimely loss is very hard to except for not only his family but also for myself, I will never forget his ability to always bring a smile to my face. I cherish the childhood memories that Dave and I have shared. May he rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with the Donaldson family and all of his friends.
