Don was always ready to lend an intelligent air to many conversations. His wit and abilities, I admired; I will miss our conversations and his friendship. God took him too early in life; he will be thought of often. Deepest condolences to his family, especially Judy and Lauren.

I will always remember Donald as the affable, easy-going, intelligent & witty man that he was. I was maried to his late brother, Kenny Sr., and I'm the mother of his nephew, Kenny Jr. My thoughts are with his family at this time.
