The 1st thing you know on meeting and being with DON is he represents what a gentleman is (or should be).
I've known DON for over 20 years,first as a client,then as vendors at major jewelry trade shows and lastly as a part of the LESTAGE MGF. TEAM (for a short time).
He can be described as a FRIENDLY,HONORABLE,ARTICULATE MAN who anyone would be most happy to have as a friend.
You can always count on DON for a SMILE
and GOOD CONVERSATION.
I've been lucky to have DON as a friend and I will always remember him positively.

To Garner, Dick and the rest of the LeStage family:

So sorry to hear of Don's passing. The obituary presents a wonderful picture and tribute. It also brings back many memories of growing up in North Attleboro including the annual New Year's morning "Open House" at your house on High Street. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families and with Don's wife and family. Thank you also for your very kind thoughts and comments on my Mom's recent passing.
