Our deepest sympathies To Tim and Melissa and so very sorry for your loss.
I remember many nights Mr. D over our house chatting with my Mom about this and that. A very even-keeled guy with vivid, detailed stories we all enjoyed listening to. He will be missed. Peace be with you all in this time of sorrow. He will be in our prayers.

gentle soul. Anthony possessed a beautiful smile and an easy going manner. I remember he had a intelligence edge and commanded his classes. My daughter had the pleasure of having Mr Donlan for a substitute teacher. She was thrilled we were related. Ill think of him often and fondly. All the Anthonys r together again. A true cousin reunion

My condolences to both Tim and Melissa. My family and I will deeply miss Mr. Donlan. When my children were growing up, we would go nearly every Sunday to hang out at the Donlans. We all have such fond memories of Mr. Donlan coming out to say Hello. He was so kind and inviting especially to the children. My son is now a Dad and we reminisce about our outings at the Donlans and we brought my grandchildren there last August for a fun day in the pool. God Bless
