My Dad, Aldo and Uncle Joe thought of Donald as there little Brother. Our Prayers to the English family and Betty. We have very fond memories of Donald ,I remember as a kid visiting Uncle Alex’s house and Donnie playing the ukulele and feeding his dog jock spaghetti with Romano cheese sprinkled on top. I have a great picture of him as my confirmation sponsor long ago. Oh how we cried at my fathers funeral, he truly loved him. We would stop and see him and Betty every Halloween it was the highlight of our night. Godspeed Donald.
Sorry to hear of Don’s passing. Had many laughs with him over the years. God bless him and his family.
Don was a great neighbor, and a good friend, he loved to tell jokes, and laugh with you. He was there when I needed help in getting my yard work done. Take care Don, hope to see you again someday.
