Donald was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend to many. He loved to help others and was a volunteer with the Special Olympics. “Mr. B”, as he was known around the little league baseball and soccer fields, loved to coach and teach kids about sports and life. All the kids loved him. He enjoyed watching sports and more importantly attending his grandchildren’s sporting events. He attended the Hershey Free Church and the Community Bible Church in Palmyra for many years. He was an avid golfer, woodworker and like to buy and sell antiques. Him and his “Honey” owned and operated Country Corner Crafts for several years. He had several nicknames: Bo, Shorty, Epp, Pop and Senior, but was known better for his jokes and nicknames he had for others. He will be greatly missed by many.
