Donald will be missed by his family because he was the one that gathered them together and always prepared the family Sunday Dinners. It was his day in the kitchen.

The grandchildren will miss their trips with the grandpa to the Beach.

The Buffalo Bills will miss his extra Loud support, no matter how they were playing and the Yankees will miss the greatest Armchair Manager the team would ever have. He knew every player that ever played for the team.
