Don was a pillar of his community, leading with his heart in servitude of others. He was the president of the Old Guard New England, a local organization that worked to ensure the remains of the nation’s veterans are located, identified, and honorably interred.

Don’s devotion and servitude of others will live on in those he helped and inspired. His memory and legacy exist not only with those who loved him, but with all those he honored and supported along the way. Family and friends will gather to remember Don’s life at Tighe Hamilton Funeral Home, 50 Central St Hudson, MA, on Tuesday, April 25th, from 4-7pm. Internment services will be private.
