Our heartfelt sympathy to Don's family. Don was a classmate of ours at BHS. We had not seen him since 1965 but others would share news of him. Don's military service was a treasured gift during a time of uncertainty. That will be remembered by many.
Thoughts and prayers to his family.

So sorry to read of Donnie's passing. I have fond memories of the barbershop which was near my Dad's IGA store. Donnie was funny and kept things lively at BHS. Also remember George and John too from our years at Immaculate Conception parish. Comforting thoughts to the entire family.

John and George,
I am sorry to hear about the passing of Donnie. He taught me how to make the best Old Fashion’s and I always made my ice cream drinks like they came out of Dairy Queen. He’s we’re always soupy!! 😊 And our golf outing’s with Rosie were always very memorable. We had a lot of great memories. Hugs to all,
Biddy Graham ( Bridget)
