Donald had a wonderful sense of humor, with a laugh that could light up a room. Who enjoined the simple things in life; whether it be hanging out with the kids watching whatever they wanted to watch, or just sitting outside for some fresh air. He always had a smile on his face. He loved Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy; he also enjoyed fishing, camping and anything to do with being outdoors. Sitting on his porch listening to the birds chirp and a friendly hello for anyone who passed. He held a variety of jobs, before becoming a packaging mechanic at Ivers Lee; from where he retired. He lived the rest of his life, enjoying his devoted wife, and family as well as the simple things. Donald never asked anyone for anything, but gave all he could to anyone who needed it.
He leaves behind a beloved wife of 56 years, Jean Saunders. He also leaves behind 4 children, 15 grandchildren, 1 great-grandchild; as well as many sister-in-laws, brother-in-laws, nieces and nephews.
