So sorry for your loss. I've known Tadd since I was a kid. He worked on my dad's vehicle for many years and mine as well. Donald was always nice to everyone and never changed. My dad use to go to the shop and just sit and talk with Donald just to get away from the house for a bit. Donald will be missed by many who knew him. He was a true friend . Prayers for the family.
I have known Tad for many years and known him to be kind and helpful always.I will miss him.Am praying for the family.God bless.
