Donald worked for my father back in the early eighties; I was in my mid-teens and he was in his mid-twenties. He was repairing televisions and car radios, and we shared a love for music. He was a DJ by hobby and gave me the bug. Little did he know, that by his direction, I made the music business my life. I feel that everything that I have accomplished all started because of his influence. Sadly, we didn't really keep in close contact and that really hurts me now given the circumstances. What I remember most about Donald was that he was shy -- I think he got a kick out of me because I was so outgoing. He was also a very gentle, kind and honest human being that will certainly be missed by many who's lives he graced.
