Hi Cheryle, I want you to know how very sorry I am to hear about the passing of your Donald. I didn't know him but, from looking at all his pictures and what you put on face book he seems like a very loving family man and husband. You were very lucky to have such special person in your life. All my thoughts and prayers go out to you. An old friend Donna (McDonough) Cronin

Dear Cheryle: I had brief dealings with Don, and can say he was a very friendly, kind, and generous man. He made me laugh with his jokes and was someone I will never forget. I wish you peace during this trying time. God bless. Patrick Mead

We just heard about Don. We have a cottage in Dennisport and Don did several projects for us. He was the best. Always happy, always willing to bust my chops about being from NY and being a Giants fan. My wife and I loved him and counted him as a friend. He will be sorely missed. He was "one of a kind." We are very sorry for your loss.

So very sad to hear about Don's passing. We hired Don to do some remodeling work at our cottage in Dennisport after being referred by a friend who has a cottage on Captain Chase Road. Don was a man of his word and one who seemed to thoroughly enjoy his family, his work and life in general. He'll surely be missed by many who came to know him through his business dealings.
