So sorry to read this obituary. What a nice man Donald was! He was on my mail route for years and always asked if I needed water when it was so hot outside!. My prayers are with the family and I hope your memories give you comfort in the days ahead!

Duck, I have cried, laughed out loud, and cried again, but you hold a very special place in my heart, and I will keep you there forever. I can see you now, cup of coffee in one hand and a cigarette in the other, strolling into Ma\’s townhouse in Florida, (Aunt Sue on the other end), to visit and get Paul out of Ma\’s hair. Ma was 12 years old when you were born, and she\’d carry you around like her own little dollbaby. See you on the other side Cuz!

Visitation & Funeral Service Information

Reflecting Donald’s final wishes, he will be cremated, and in typical Donald fashion, there are no services planned.

 

Time does not bring relief; you all have lied Who told me time would ease me of my pain! I miss him in the weeping of the rain; I want him at the shrinking of the tide; The old snows melt from every mountain-side, And last year’s leaves are smoke in every lane; But last year’s bitter loving must remain

Heaped on my heart, and my old thoughts abide. There are a hundred places where I fear To go,—so with his memory they brim. And entering with relief some quiet place Where never fell his foot or shone his face I say, “There is no memory of him here!” And so stand stricken, so remembering him.
