I am saddened to hear of Don's passing.
I lived across the street from his family in Dolton. He and Terry were probably the first friends I had in that neighborhood. I've thought of him and the things we did as kids many times, and just have to laugh, he was a lot of fun, and will be greatly missed.
My deepest sympathies to his entire family

What a loss! Don was such a good, hardworking, generous man who was taken way too soon. When I would go out with Laurie and Don it was obvious, just by the way he looked at her, that he loved Laurie dearly. And he often talked about his kids. Katie and Donny meant the world to him. The only negative thing I can say about Don is that he introduced me to my ex-husband! But even that gave us many laughs over the years. I will always remember Don's smile, his laugh and the many good times we shared. He will certainly be missed.
