    I am so sorry for your loss, Donald was like a second dad to me when I helped on the farm in the eighties, his friendship meant a lot to me. He was almost always in a good mood except when you would run the duals loose on the new four wheel drive tractor, then not so happy. I enjoyed those years and enjoyed seeing Donald in the years that followed, I will miss him. My thoughts are with all of you. Forever your friend Dana.

    I am so sorry for your loss. I remember the many times my parents, Donald and Phyllis went out to eat and on vacations. I still have the frog cookie jar on top of my refrigerator from Donald and Phyllis. Phyllis, you know what I’m talking about. I will now look at it and always think of Donald. Love to all. Janet
