Don, You were the first person I met upon moving to Towle St in 1990. I liked hearing your stories, especially the one about carrying the fat guy down many flights of stairs in a medical emergency. You took good care of your wife when she was sick. You were a proud veteran and a kind & decent man. Rest in peace my friend.
Gary O'Connell
