We will never forget the wonderful times we had with Donald. We enjoyed many of his delicious meals and listened to his great saxaphone playing with various bands. He had a passion for playing golf and invested in many, many clubs to improve his game. We loved taking golf trips with him in his big o’van! His cheesecakes were amazing, which he shared with all his friends. We will miss him greatly. Pat and Bobby Gurley
