So very sorry for your loss. Donn was a wonderful cousin. Although we hadn't seen each other in years, I remember well him staying with us when he attended law school in Cleveland. Rest in peace, Donnie.

My dear Uncle Donn was an inspirational role model to me for as long as I can remember. He was the uncle who felt more like a brother to me and I will always treasure the love we shared.

Donn was a fine individual who always was
genuinely concerned for his fellow man. I had the pleasure of working with Donn in Real Estate matters. A good soul.
God bless you

Donn was my mentor, my landlord and then my tenant and always a friend. He was always a class act even when he would show off his colorful humor. Donn had me handle a case for him one time and told me he that I would like the client, and sure enough that client ended up being my wife. Rest In Peace Donn, Sherri and I will not forget you.
