Oh Don how you will be missed. You had a great personality and never met a stranger. You were always there to help anyone in need. You were the best dancer I've ever danced with. We had great times together, laughing and talking. I considered you one of my bestest pals. I enjoyed the many years of working with you. I will miss you dearly and still think of you often. Maybe in our next life we will meet again, I'll be watching for your smile. Bren

To the Dear family of Donnie:

He was a very personable and down to earth gentleman. I was very fortunate to have been introduced to Donnie several days years ago. He was a fun guy to be around and always there to lend a helping hand. My sincere symathy goes out to Bobby whom I also had the pleasure of meeting.
May the children of Donnie know that there are many people who knew your dad and can only have extreme good things to say about him. I can also say he was so proud of all of his children, which was one of his favorite subjects.
Always remember he might be gone physically but not from our hears.

May God Bless All of You and keep you in his Arms.
