Sharon and Family: My sencere condolences on your loss of Donald. "Dinky", yes to most of his old friends he will always be known as "Dinky", was a great guy and in our high school days was the leader of the gang. Many great stories mostly beer and cards at "Dinkies" house. Unable to attend services because I'm in California, but I will be thinking and praying for you in your time of grief.
Best regards, JP

My condolences on the passing of Don. Words cannot express the sadness one feels when a loved one dies.
I read a sweet saying that was used in an obituary that I'd like to share with you. It goes like this: "The passing of a loved one breaks your heart, and time heals broken hearts. My wish for you is that time passes quickly for you and your loved ones during this time of sorrow!"
Your entire family will be in my thoughts and prayers as well as Don.

Sincerely,

Phil Haskett
CPD Retired

McMahon Family,

I am so sorry for the loss of Don. He was a great guy. He always had a smile and joke to share; not to mention an everlasting supply of tootsie rolls! He loved his family above all else and showed it in everything he did. He will be so sorely missed. Hold your memories of him close to your heart and he will live forever through you. He has joined an all too big group of angels who will watch over us always. My love, thoughts and prayers are with you all.
