I am truly saddened to hear of Donald's passing. I will always remember the years we spent at Kilkenny crabbing & the evening boat rides. My heart aches for the family & I pray for peace during this difficult time. He always had a joke to share & I am grateful to have known him. I never could beat him at pool, he was truly gifted. Love to you Ducky. ??

My condolences go out to Perry and Mark and their families during this time of loss. Donald, or "Duck" as I and many others used to call him, was at times like a second dad to me when I was coming up as a young boy with Perry and Mark. He always had good advice to lend about life in general and loved to tell a good joke. He was one heck of a billiard's player too. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
