He enjoyed karaoke, doo wop music and his dogs. He was also a Lincoln enthusiast which he passed on to his daughter.

He will be sorely missed by his wife, 2 children, a sister, a host of nieces and nephews as well as extended family and several lifelong friends.

Donald is my cousin, and the thing I will remember most, is his laughter. He was always happy, and at our yearly family reunion, with everyone there, when Donald laughed, you could hear that above everybody! Rest well Donald, you are loved. My thoughts are with Edie, Nancy, and their families💜

I grew up in the same neighborhood Don did, we went to school & church together and spent many hours in his sports car & GTO, rest in peace Don, it was much to early for your departure to heaven.

My last memory of Don was joking around with him and laughing. This was usually the case when interacting with him. Im so very very sorry for this HUGE loss in your lives. I know breakfast time will not be the same for you. There are certain places that I joined you with him and they will always be places of Don memories and the way he so generously offered to pay everytime! Xoxo
