As long as I can remember, Donnie and Lois we friends of my family. Donnie was always kind and warm. He was quick to smile. For the last several decades, whenever I saw him, he’d remind me about the time he brought a check over to the house for my parents. I was the only one home. So I took the check, and as I’d been recently trained by Montgomery Wards, asked for ID. He’d even played along and showed me his license! Decades later, we’d have another good laugh. What a great guy.

I had the honor of being the flower girl at Aunt Lois and his wedding. I have fond memories of my uncle who always kept in touch with …he was very technologically savvy. Rest in peace Uncle Donald. We love you so much.

Our monthly lunches. I really looked forward to seeing Donnie and Lois and Stanley & Natalie. We would sit and talk and remember all of the things from our long relationship. I stood up for their wedding and was a their 60th Anniversary party. What wonderful memories I will keep with me of our relationship. Love You!!!
