Donald was just like his father in that everyone was his friend, he could walk up to a complete stranger and start a conversation and leave with them being good friends. He had a positive outlook on life and nothing ever shook him. He loved spending time with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, and was very patient with them.

Class mate hunting partner very good friend gone but not forgotten rest in peace We remember the good times
Uncle Sonny-always smiling and loving those Red Sox. You and Aunt Mad helped Barry and I get on our “soon to be married” feet by welcoming us into your home, feeding us lots of fried chicken and peaches, and leaving me forever with a memory of you whenever I smell someone smoking a cherry flavored tobacco pipe. Rest In Peace now, from all of us who love you.
Sorry for the loss of Sonny. May God be with you.
My condolences to the family.

We are so sorry to hear of Sonny’s passing. He was so dedicated in his work with the US Postal Service. We had the fortunate opportunity to have Sonny as our in-plant postal official for many years. He was truly a wonderful man. His legacy will live on through his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. We are so grateful for having known Sonny and will remember him always.
