Rest In Peace my friend. I have a lot of fond memories of our good times that we shared living next to each other at the dorm at Andrews AFB, the Summer Nationals at Englishtown NJ, catching up with each other again in ‘92 and then ‘08 in Ohio. Then we were able to reconnect on Facebook so we could share events in each other’s lives...many memories and one event that I didn’t want you to share, I’m gonna miss your humor, your pride in your family and just you! Until we meet again my friend rest easy.
Your loss is heartfelt. Donald was a good person and loved his family. My prayers and blessings to you all. We will be thinking of you all. Part of the Daniels family. Kay,Helen,Samantha Daniels
