DL and Anna Lee were like grandparents to me since I became their neighbor 38 years ago. They were the sweetest couple I have ever known. I will miss seeing DL as he loved working in his yard and garden. He is with his beloved wife now strolling over heaven hand in hand. My thoughts and prayers are with the McDonald family during this time of such great loss.

D.L was one of the sweetest men I have ever met. He was a true gentleman and a true friend to many. We will miss D.L. very much. Centre Friends Meeting has lost a precious member and he will always be remembered along with his sweet Anna Lee. May God give the family strength and comforting peace in this difficult time.

Some of my fondest memories are of fishing with uncle DL and my dad Jack, I feel it a great honor to be considered a pall bearer for a great friend and one of my favorite uncles. Some of those memories will never be forgotten. Prayers to all family and friends, Love, Johnny.
