I have lost my very special brother, we were very close and there for each other. Big D was my foundation in life and I will miss that so tremendously. My family is all gone now and I feel very alone. I will miss my big pillar, My Big (little) Brother. I will do my best to do things in life the way they would have expected me to. The strength and love our family had for one another is going to be my salvation and my strength and my peace. Love you forever Donald, your sister Dolores - Posted by: Dolores St.Godard (Family) on: Nov 09, 2005

It is with a heavy heart that I say a fond farewell to a great friend and once "boss". Big D, you always made me and my wife Janet feel welcome and you introduced me to your wild, crazy pack of friends who where the type of friends for life. From the four wheel drive adventures with the FBI boys, to the xmas food fight at Dan Dee's. After all that you found love and happiness in the love of Brenda.God be with you now and I will truly miss your smile and I will have a club for you.
