"Dear Donna and Family, We are so sorry about the passing of your Dad. My parents, Evay and Bill Keefe and your parents were good friends for many years. They had fun together. Do you remember that they went to Las Vegas together? Your parents were very nice people and good to my parents. My Dad just died this past April at age 99. Mom died 6 years ago at age 88. So glad Don lived such a long life. Ellen Keefe Mindel"

"I considered my father-in-law to be my second Dad, treated me like his own son. When I first met him, I thought he was hard on me, I told Donna that and of course Donna goes and tells him that, busted my stones pretty good after that.? He became a Flyers fan when we brought him down here to live and took care of him, loved his sports, just a very special man, will miss his kindness and sense of humor. Love you Dad. ?????????"
