Don was a tireless worker and bearer of joy in Rochester’s 19th Ward neighborhood. He served in the Community Association, Kiwanis, Rochester Presbyterian Home, YMCA Southwest, and for the past 10+ years as a Street Liaison to southwest neighborhood businesses for the City of Rochester. His wit, charm and flattery opened doors and won the hearts of everyone he met. His laughter and cheerful support still echoes in the 19th Ward’s commercial corridors.
