    Donald was Great man. There isn't a time that he didn't make someone laugh. We would always talk about the good ole days. He always had good things to say about my dad. I love hearing those stories you cant get those days back now they are memories that we will cherish forever. Now your up in heaven with my dad drinking a cold one and talking about those good ole days. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone. We love and miss you Donald. The Malpass Family
