Not sure what to say?

Don was like a brother to me and I respected him not only as the team super star on our championship basketball team but as a true friend and confidant. It is my hope that I will see him again when it is my turn to see the eternal light of our creator.

Had many memories of this legend on the basketball court and as a true friend. Hopefully I will join you again someday shooting hoops.

I learned of Donald's passing at Tolman's 60th reunion. He was a remarkable basketball player but more than that, brought a true spirit to our school and our class. Rest in Peace Donald, you made high school that much more memorable for me.

Don I played with you at Tolman. I enjoyed every time we played. Pat Breault 1961

Godspeed donnie you were a good man and friend see you on the other side my brother

I knew Don for many years from working as a pharmacist at the CVS on Newport Ave in Pawtucket. We used to meet at the dog park where our two dogs would play. He would always bring Emma into the store to see me. I will miss his gentle spirit and constant smile. I will miss my friend forever. Please accept my deepest condolences, for losing Don is a huge loss for this weary world.
