Uncle Donald was friendly, kind, caring, cool, down to earth, most hilarious person I've known. I already miss hearing his jokes or the stories he told. It is with great sadness and tears in our eyes that we say goodbye to Tio Donald. Yet somehow there's a feeling of happiness to be found. A smile to be shared. It's that good feeling you get when you hear a funny joke. Tio Don could tell jokes like no other. When he and my Tia Lorraine would come visit us in Colorado, a great time was always had. I remember so many times being at my grandparents, we'd spend hours laughing and laughing. They would make the best comida for everyone to munch on. These were the very best of times. I will always cherish the memories made, the laughs we shared. Here's a part of a text received from him: " I luv my family no amount of money I'd trade for my family." Facts. Tio Donald was devoted to his wife, family and friends. He loved each one sincerely. The last joke we shared, I told. Here it goes: why does a duck have tail feathers? Answer: to cover his butt-quack. After I told joke, Uncle Don replied "you're getting better!". Now that's inspiration to me. Tell others jokes. Enjoy your family and friends. Live and love.

My Thoughts are with the family. I hope you can find comfort where I too have found in the past, 2 Cor. 1:4 “Who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trail with the comfort that we receive from God.”
