Don was a charming, polite, and kind friend. We loved hearing him sing karaoke and his joy of music was very evident in his life. May you all be comforted by good memories.

My heart goes out to everyone of the family. He came into my life more then 15 years ago and did the best he could to fill the role of a father and for that i will always be grateful and thankful of everything did. He is my father no matter what and i love him very much and i am glad he is no longer in pain.

Time passes by in the blink of a eye. We all have many acquaintances in our lives as people come and go. To give someone the title of friend is special! A true friend is hard to come by and a blessing! Don was one of a very few of mine! We lived fast and hard in our younger days. Our lives parted and went separate ways. Twenty years have passed things have changed. I still have a smile on my face and joy in my heart when I think about the good times we had! My friend will be dearly missed by family and all! GOD SPEED Donald Frederick! My heart and prayers are going out to you and your family!
