"To say that I have a lot of good memories with Uncle Donald would be a tremendous understatement, I can hardly think of my youth sitting around the table at camp without seeing Uncle Donald sitting there laughing at literally every single joke. I use to tell people that everyone needs an Uncle Donald in their life, as he will make you feel like the funniest guy in the room, even if often times, you are not. I hope you're resting well, Uncle and if you happen upon a stockbroker in your continued journey, you smile and remember us all back here missing you."

"It was an honor getting to know and care for Don while he was at Pinecrest. I had many good conversations and just as many head-buttings with him. After a while, he got sick of me pestering him and gave into my friendship (so I like to think)! He was always so kind to me and I like to think him and I had a little bit more special of a bond for some reason. I really enjoyed my time with him and will miss him! I will definitely miss our yelling back and forth at each other and the way we smiled and laughed just as soon after because we knew there would never be a winner. Thank you for sharing this good man with all of us! "
