Many years have passed and when I saw this reminder of gentle, kind Donnie, I had to leave a remembrance.  
Today is the St Pete Open and every year as we waited to see Our son’ s catch of the day, Donnie would find his way to me and always give me the most sincere greeting and wonderful hug.  I feel that hug as I remember him today.

I always enjoyed his comments in the OR. He was always so kind and funny. I miss him so much

Don and I met just like many of his friends did, taking care of patients in the hospital. When I first met Don I knew he was great. The compassion and care that he delivered was hands down the best I had ever seen. One day he invited me to go spear fishing with his best friend Brad and his closest friend and brother Robert. It was the best diving adventure I had ever had, I mean this guy had numbers with fish stacked to the roof. We had an amazing day hunting for fish and from that day forward we became close friends and made many great memories over the last several years.  He became a brother to me, and I as many of us that crossed Dons path have suffered a great loss. He is truly and deeply missed everyday  and will always have a place in my heart.

Don, your memory will live forever with me.  I first met Don at the PACU of Morton Plant around 1996.  We hit it off immediately.  Our friendship grew as we dove and fished together thoughout the bay area.  While on a dive Don said he was interested in Anesthesia.  We talked a long while about it.  Not long afterward he shared with me his appointment to the FIU program.  We would share conversations all the while during his course of studies as well as the occassional visit home. I reveled in his determination and accomplishment.  He was very adept at his new profession.  He always made time to fish with the "Old Tiimers". Our last, Tarpon under the skyway!  He and Jen hosted a going away party when I departed for Texas.  I was touched by his tenderness and attention with Jaxson.  He was the quintessential father, husband and friend.  I felt like a surrogate father with him.  My heart is so saddened by his passing.   

So sad! I was one of Don’s Professors in the CRNA Program at FIU. He was a great student and compassionate anesthesia provider. We talked a lot about boating and lobster season. Don will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. God bless you. Juan Gonzalez

I worked with Don in PACU at Bayfront. One day he saw me reading a book by Eckhart Tolle " The Power of Now". The following day Don handed me  his book of the same author and said " I wanted you to read this and it's  yours now. Thank you Don for your kind gesture as I was able to pay it forward  and continues to do so.

Gonna miss you bro! Nobody consumed bacon from the microwave like you! Too quiet at the hospital now! Rest In Peace my friend.

OMG Don, you are loved by so many and you’ll be missed forever more.  I have so many wonderful memories from when we worked together in the cardiac cath lab and in the EP lab. One of my favorite memories, though, are the piles of bacon that you brought almost daily to our break room. The smell of bacon wafted everywhere throughout the ground floor. In fairness to you, you shared it with the staff. You were awesome with patients and in 2017,  I requested that you do the anesthesia for my mom’s bypass surgery. When we weren’t joking around, you had a peaceful demeanor. I hope you find peace now. 

The world has lost a kind and gentle man. 
May beautiful memories of Donny live forever in your hearts.
