I have been blessed to grow up with my Dad. He instilled in me; Integrity, Passion, Respect, Resilience and SO much more. Beautiful memories of a long and successful life. Thank you Daddy. 🙏😘
Marilyn and I loved Uncle Don, to the point that we changed our wedding date so that he and family would be with us on our special day. When Marilyn passed in 2017 he came to the funeral. This showed how much he cared for her. I am sure that she was one of the first to greet him when he entered heaven. May the Lord bless you and keep you under his wings. I will miss you. And may the Lord bless Mark, Famah, Richard and Elisa. Their father was a wonderful, caring person who loved them dearly. I salute you Uncle Don.
