I can't call you grandpa because of things better left forgotten and forgiven. Either way, you are still my grandfather and I hope that out paths will meet in that Otherworldly place. Rest In Peace grandpa

My Father, he was a very good man who had loving arms and a loving heart. The kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back. I will never forget all the times we went to Hansen's for fish dinners on Friday nights and how we kids would fight over the shrimp cocktail, there never seemed to be enough. Taking us for ice cream and the Sunday drives in the country to the fresh fruit stands, the nights out at the airport watching the night lights and planes taking off and landing. I never got the chance to thank you for all the good things you contributed to our lives; the pool in the back yard and how hard you worked to put it up, and fix it when it was down like the time the ice in the pool from winter collapsed the sides, seemed you were always working at work, on the car, you worked so hard for your family for that I am grateful. I knew you loved us and I loved you. May God rest your soul now, I look forward to seeing you again one day. Your Loving Daughter Terri

I am so sorry to hear of my brother in law’s passing. I knew this man, I grew up with this man and I am sorry that time and distance had separated us. Back in the late 60’s when we were both young, we had grown to be good friends. Donald taught me how to drive a car and how to take care of them. He taught me about tools and mechanics, and he encouraged me when I took an interest in playing guitar and playing in a band. Most of all, he taught me a lot about one of my passions to this day, fishing. We spent hours angling in the Niagara gorge talking about all things in life, news of the day, religion, and he shared many stories from his time in the U.S. Navy. I will always have fond memories of this man and the times we shared. He was a good, caring, and compassionate man, he was funny and we laughed a lot and I will always remember Donald with a smile. May God bless you and your family in this time of grief.
