To the family and friends of Donald,
My family grew up with Donald and his family. He was such a kind ,soft spoken and loving gentleman. He loved playing his music, and I loved to listen to him and his family play. I can remember going to see him and he really enjoyed bringing out those old pictures of Cambria and the family. May Donald REST IN PEACE!
