I remember Donnie from our days at Morton Salt and playing in softball tournaments in St Louis. It was funny how he would joke at us old guys trying to compete with the youngsters.
He was a character.....much too young to go.
God Bless Him

I worked with Don since he was a kid at Morton -- over 20 years and he was a real piece of work! Funny! He, Timmy & I laughed so much-- together, at ourselves -- he made work great! The softball tournaments -- oh the stories we could tell from those, but I'll just keep them in my memory. When he got sick, it just shows that life is not fair. Whenever I think of him, I'll always have a smile on my face.

Janet Stavrakos

January 19, 2012

I am very sorry for your loss. I am a friend of Jim and he always spoke so highly of Don stating what a great father, husband and man he was. My deepest sympathy to you all. May he rest in peace.

remember my brother for not when he was sick, but for the times when he was funny and went over a bit
every party don had a bat and ball,
off to the park he would take them all
his passion was to bowl play hockey and softball and that he would teach to any and all
now all i have left is great memories
of a brother who was always there for me
i will miss you crazy don...
love julia
