My thoughts and prayers are with Don’s family. I worked at Crestview Acres in the Activities Department, took care of Lore. Don always had a smile on his face & a funny story to tell when he was visiting Lore. He will be greatly missed by all those that knew him.. RIP Don, you are now with the love of your life.
Frank & family, Sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. My thoughts & prayers are with you during this difficult time. May the happy memories bring you comfort.
Don will be greatly missed. I remember him coming to karaoke all the time and singing with us. He was such an amazing person and always had a smile on his face and always always had a new story to tell my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family to continue to uplift you as you go through this horrible journey. I’m so sorry for your loss he will be greatly missed.
Sorry to hear about the loss of Don. I knew him from Karaoke and always enjoyed his stories. Years ago when my son was little we ran into Don at Burger King. He was going to dine alone and I invited him to sit with us. My son enjoyed talking to him and still mentions him. He made an impact on my young child that day. I adored the fact he would never miss a day to go visit his wife. I still chuckle when he sat with me one night and realized he had her tv remote on him. The look of surprise was classic. He bolted out to go return it. As he was using a walker I was as well due to knee replacement and we would try to race. I’m very sorry for your loss.
Oh Donnie! What do we say! You were the best duet partner and always lit up any room. The world lost a bright light! Those ladies won’t know what’s coming!
