He was diagnosed with ALL (leukemia) March 2001 spending three months in the hospital, undergoing four surgeries in 31 hours and remained on a feeding tube for seven months. This forced him to sell his plane and his business. In remission from leukemia, he and Marie moved to Albuquerque, NM. January, 2002. He had a bone marrow transplant in 2004 at the University Medical Hospital in Tucson. His sister Nancy was his donor. In 2006 Donald requested to become a member of the Catholic Church. He enjoyed a healthy life until he was diagnosed with brain cancer (glioblastoma) June 2, 2009. A Vigil will be held with a Viewing and a Rosary will be recited at Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Church on Wednesday, October 28, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Church on October 29, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. Love and appreciation goes out for the prayers and generosity of his family and friends, and especially the Holy Rosary Small Christian Community members as they helped Marie and Donald during his journey to Heaven. After cremation Donald will join his deceased family in Candor, NY. Donald often said "God will cure me" and God has.
