Dad

A true gentleman has lived and passed.

A truly gentle man.

He put family and love above all.

Loved his wife immeasurably.

He strove to improve … always . To be the best he could be.

Husband . Father . Grandfather . Great grandfather . Brother . Uncle. Friend .

He would not seek attention . In life. Nor would he want it now. That was his unselfish nature.

He never wanted to be a burden or inconvenience . And he never was .

An awful disease attempted to take away his dignity. But he won. Because he endured and lived throughout the debilitating changes in the most heroic and dignified manner possible.

May your memories of Don bring you happiness and joy. And mostly love .

Forget the disease . Recall his days when he bowled, danced , threw a baseball and cottaged. Fill in your own memories.

For that is what he would have wanted.

Be healthy and live life.

Don did that and was happy and would want that for you

And he would not want you to be unhappy now.

Be happy for his life lived.

For it was a successful and loving life.

Donald Dye will be missed . But forever remembered in our hearts…

…With great love

Your Son
