Loresch family, we are indeed saddened to hear of Donnie“s passing. Both my husband and I worked with Donnie on the Milwaukee Railroad/ Soo/CP Rail. Donnie was one of my bestest friends back in the day. It was always a hoot working out in the glasshouse with Don. Outside of work we partied together and he was a great guy to have in your corner when things went sideways. Donnie... thanks for the memories... I always adored you!
May you rest in peace...Love, Paris and George Pulford

Don first of all was a genuinely nice person. Always in a good mood. Many good times and laughs were shared with me and others.
