I was lucky enough to know Cousin Don (my "Donnie") when he was a sweet and comical little boy, as I was 13 when he was born. Tho I didn't get to see him often, he was in my heart. He and Bob were the only close relatives left from my dad's side. I have nothing but nice memories of him. I know he will be missed by all.

The greatest memory I will have of my Uncle Don is being blessed enough to have seen him get to know his grandson and bond with him. He felt so lucky to have had that during his last year of life. May you rest Uncle, knowing that we will not let him forget you. Love, Laura
