  1. We may have met many years ago, I am a cousin from WV. Prayers and well wishes for the family, RIP

  2. Donald was my First Husband’ to whom I had an annulment after 3 yrs, who would have guessed he was still married when he married me? He wasn’t thinking clearing obviously nor was I for not checking into it, I learned not to assume anything after that. (Life is a true adventure) In the 3 yrs we were married I learned a lot, He taught me to live life to the fullest, shoot, hunt & clear an acre of land with the tools we had at hand in W.Va. plus live off the land sometimes for which I’m still most grateful for, we had our ups & downs, but all of Donald’s family were always nice to me, Unfortunately our lives went down different roads as they say because of our indifferences, I never stopped loving him in all my years, he always had part of my heart, We were very wild & crazy back then, I saw more & did more than most people have the chance too & learned so much about people & life in general, He taught me alot, & I bore (two) wonderful son’s, who are the most remarkable people I have ever had to privilege to know, Our first son “Richard” (who was adopted a little after his birth), But when he turned 21, I went on the hunt to try and find him” I called and spoke with Donald & he gave me some names and clues & against some family opinions, and all the odds, I decided I had suffered enough through the years, I wanted to see, touch, & hug my first born son & with a hand filled with little postcards, I sent them all over the United States, Trusting in God, for he is the only one that truly knows your heart. The only two people that were at my side at the time were My Husband for over 40 yrs now “Walter” & Richard’s younger Brother “John’ my second son, (The most handsome man in the world), but there is so,so, much more to this story, (but all worked out none the less, God heard my prayer & delivered my post card), Donald got to know Richard a little, & me too, OMG how I anguished for so many years to find my first son, Thank God Donald shared what he knew that day on the phone with me, I am so grateful he decided to do that for me, I know deep down in his heart he cared and he cared enough for me to finally share. Donald was a little bit older than me when we met, He was an “Out-law” a 1%er motorcycle man a “Hun” who I road off into the sun-set with, into another life I knew nothing about, but learned very fast about it in the 3 years we were together, When our 2nd Son “John” was born, Donald & I had conflict after conflict, There was never very good times together anymore, I wanted change, he did not, he was always going to be in the motorcycle world period, the rest is history, I took our son John and left, John & I were doing pretty good until I came down with cancer, I gave custody over to Donald” (he wouldn’t help me any other way) after I recovered from having cancer I thought Donald would sign papers back over to me, well that didn’t happen, so I made my own way in life, but I always had my son John for the summer’s with me, (I guess this was parental rights), I didn’t care as long as I had the whole summer with my son “John”, Then after I got married to my now husband “Walter” (for over 40 yrs now), I received a phone call from Donald and he said, Do you want to take John (or) his Aunt Dianne can raise him, My husband “Walter” heard him, and looked at me and told me to do whatever I wanted to do, I told Donald, “Walter & I” would make all the arrangements for John to fly down and live with us, I also told Donald he now would sign back over custody papers to me. Walter & I always let John go for the summers to Donald’s to spend time with his family up there, I only asked one time for Donald to help out buying a gift for our son John’ in my life, for one Christmas (it was for a bicycle he truly wanted at the time), We lived in Seminole Park Estates back then & John rode his bike to school, Donald sent 1/2 the cost with no questions asked, John was one happy little guy, Life has been very good to all of us Donald’s Family & My Family, can’t ask for better then that, “Life is a true adventure” Hello to every-one of Donald’s Relatives, My Sincere condolences, Donald always had a piece of my heart because he taught my so much and was my first love in my life and two wonderful human beings came out of it all, “Richard & John” & The most beautiful Grand-Children & Great-Grand Children anyone could ever ask for, God Bless Donald, hope he gets to ride & God Bless all the rest of us.

  3. I was a Nurse Case manager for Duck, years ago, after the professional part was over, we became friends. I just wrote a n E-mail to another friend telling him of the time Duck cut up a deer carcass for me. It waas fresh road kill, very fresh we just hit it. I am sorry he is gone

  4. Duck was a father to me and his family are great people. Kenny was one of my loves and I knew his parents,ex wife and little
    john when he would come for Christmas. Duck took care of alot of people that I saw when we lived in the same house. He was a good son, father, brother to husband. So meny people would come to him for advice or help and he didn’t turn them down. I was a witness to this when living there. He was funny, caring and generous. I’m am a better person for knowing him. God will put you in someone live for a season or two 🙏. Duck taught me alot. I’m surprised and sadden that there is not more comments on here for him. May God always keep you in his hands. Condolences to his all his family.
