Don, was a wonderful and caring man. I enjoyed Rockin on the River or seeing him at one of Bob Earleys Concerts or talking on the phone.
He was always ready to lend a helping hand and enjoyed helping Dan work on his truck
We enjoyed wings together and talking about his illness and the outcome. Me being a Hospice Nurse Don and I were open with eachother.
Don loved his children and talked of them often and dearly loved his puppies. He will be missed by many and never forgotten.
Rest In Eternal Peace...See You Soon.
Love .

Thank you little brother, for being my friend, my confidant, my helper and advisor. I can't imagine how empty life will be without you. I looked forward to the nightly "have a good nite, I love you" on Facebook. I'll never see it again. I love you, miss you more than anyone can imagine. If I may, on your and my behalf, I'd like to thank Gary Older Sr. and Dave Spitaleri for their unlimited devotion and care. I know you loved them both tremendously and they are suffering too. Be well, finally, little brother, and rest.
