I am saddened to learn of the passing of my friend and Hempstead High School classmate. Donald was a kind, compassionate gentleman who cared much for his family, especially the grandchildren, and his friends. Rest easy Donald!

My deepest sympathy and hopes for your comfort during this time. I will always remember the times when Uncle Donald would visit the family in Hempstead and sit around the dinner table to share grandma's feasts and endless laughs! I will especially remember what a supportive son he was to his mother even when he didn't exactly have a roadmap to follow, he always seemed to know how to do as a son should for his mother. May he rest in peace in God's loving care.
