Linda and family of Don,
My sincere condolences to you all. I had the pleasure of meeting Don at the Interbay Moose Lodge and enjoyed his company when we visited.
What a nice, great man. RIP Don
He will be missed by all. I will miss his kisses and hugs.
Moose Brother Major Don, what a great honor to have known a gentle soul as the Major. He will be greatly missed by the many whose lives he impacted over years. I’ll miss our memorable conversations and our saluting each other routine. Love and prayers to your family and friends.
Donnie and Tim: You may not remember me. I was the oldest daughter of Jim and Lillie Painter. We lived across the street from you in Perrine in the 70s. I’m so sorry for your losing of your dad. Mom passed in Jan 2023 and Dad in Feb 2024. They thought a lot of your parents and spoke of them through the years. You all crossed my mind this morning and I noted Don’s passing. Take Care.
