There are not words to express the influence he had on my life. It is through his example that I am who I am today. Grandpa, I will always miss you. I am thankful for all the memories to hang on to. You were a role model and a friend. Your guidance and love will continue to carry me through to the end of my days. Until we meet again.

Dearest Donna, Jillian and families,
I am sooo sorry to hear of Grandpa's passing. Truly a lovely gentleman, full of experiences, life, love and fun – such a pleasure to be around. His genuine respect for, and love of, his family was admirable.
I am honored to have met him and will remember his humor and infectious smile.
Prayers are with you and your family during this terribly difficult time.
Much love, Mary

My sympathy and love to you all…and I am blessed to have known this wonderful man. I will never forget the contribution he made to my life. I am so thankful for the time I got to spend with him. Thank you Don, for the wonderful family you shared with me; for teaching me how to play golf; and for all the fun times I had with you. I remember going with you on elevator maintenance calls….riding with you on top of the elevator in high-rise hotels in Miami Beach, even though I have a fear of heights. Thank you Don, for the influence you had on my precious daughter Jennifer, and all the other very fortunate grandchildren who were so lucky to have you in their lives. Your legacy lives on, in the hearts and lives of the many people who love you. Rest in peace my friend.
