Donald constantly talked about and showed pictures to friends of all his children and grandchildren who he adored so much. He enjoyed listening to Elvis, his many trips to Louisiana and he was also the luckiest man always winning money, tickets off the radio or sports pools. He loved all of his family! "He was so loved!"
