I have two favorite memories of Little Donny. The first was when he came to our house to babysit my brother and I. He decided to make some leftover pizza but didn't realize that cooking the leftover pizza on the stove top on a cookie sheet would cause it to burn both the pan and the pizza and fill the house with smoke! The second memory is of him teaching me to play the cords to Smoke on the Water on his guitar when I was about 10 years old. Whenever I hear that song on the radio I think of him. Marcia Thelen

My condolences to the family. I remember Don from the neighborhood on Joslin Street in "The Sandhill". It's been a many years since I've seen Don. Rest In Heaven.

Don was my neighbor when I lived on Ring St. He was always so nice to my children and me. When I broke my leg and couldn’t get out to cut my grass I heard a lawn mower in my yard. I crutched to the front door to see Don cutting my grass. I had tears in my eyes when I thanked him and he said “consider this my get well card.” Such a nice guy. RIP
