Don ALWAYS looked forward to seeing you during his hospital stays. Kathleen Dorritie will FOREVER have a place in my heart as the most gentle souls with a gift of comfort, friendship and faith for Don & I. UPMC Shady Side hospital employees Kaitlyn Hill, Gwen Matrone, Jamie Kriner, Alex Bittner, Tony Artis, Rose Folino and Dr. Your kindness has truly touched our hearts. When you started caring for Don, you gave our family the gift of more time, by allowing Don to get treatments in our home town. UPMC Somerset SDS and Conemaugh Oncology with Dr. I was able to be with Don the entire journey thanks to our nurses going above and beyond to help our family. Through Don's cancer battle we encountered many blessings. His grace with all that he endured was remarkable and his faith in God was truly inspirational. My sister said it best, "If Don's faith could have cured him, he would have been healed long ago." During Don's long battle, he will be remembered as the most selfless, patient, polite, kind and appreciative man. While awaiting his biopsy results he asked to please have a bracelet engraved with "Your will Lord, not mine." This truly was his motto throughout the most difficult time of his life. He was very eager to fight this beast as soon as he could. Don's quick sense of humor could put a smile on your face in the most serious situation, and if that didn't work, a straw, napkin and saliva to make a "spit wad" was usually the weapon of choice! Don was diagnosed in August 2019 with Lymphoma.
If you were in Don's inner circle, he would fiercely protect you and always have your back in ANY situation. If Don greeted you, it was with a genuine hand shake or an amazing bear hug. He loved spending time with his wife (unless she had plans for his garage), loved his children, loved singing, playing the piano, reading, watching The Weather Channel, long naps and his puppies. He was a member of First Christian Church in Somerset. He was currently working as an LPN through Continuum Pediatrics.
