so very sad to hear of uncle Dons passing our love,thoughts, and prayers are with you all.Such a kind loving man. We love you Steve, Carol and boys
I have a lot of fond memories of you Uncle Don by the one that sticks out the most is the one when you asked Michael his name. he said " Michael David Murray, get out of the street." You were so suprised by his response, you laughed really hard. He was 3 years old at the time and we just got a house and he was in the street a lot. You are going to be greatly missed here but joyfully welcomed in Heaven. Our prayers go out to your family. See you soon. Karen
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you for the loss of your dad and husband. I believe he is smiling down on all of you and all he was unable to express over these past years will now warm your heart because once again he is free from all those disabilities. Special thoughts to Mrs. Gentile Loraine, Vicki and Megan who have all touched my life thanks to your husband, dad, and grandpa! Love you Eileen Barfell
I will always remember your warm welcomes to your home and wonderful breakfast.
Rest in peace and enjoy singing with the angels.
Love ya
We remember the good times at the bowing lanes and on the golf coarse.His mind went to hell but his soul is in is in heaven.
Vickie
Sor sorry to hear about your Dad. You Ron and the girls are in our thoughts and prayers.
Ann and Phyllis
Our prayers and heart are with your family during this time of loss. Mr. Gentile was a man who loved his church, wife, children and grandchildren so much. God bless you all and may his legacy continue on.
I worked and played golf with Don for many years at International Harvester.
Don ran many tests for me in Road Test and he and his partner another Don taught me a lot. I sure enjoyed working with Don and he will be missed. Don was a great guy and a gentleman. He always spoke highly of his wife Rosie. I’m sorry I didn’t know more of his family. If I still lived in FW, I would have attended the funeral. I’m sure Don was a good father and grandfather.
DONALD AND MY DAD MARK WERE ROOMMATES AT BETHLEHEM WOODS FOR ABOUT A YEAR. DONALD FINALLY STARTED KIND OF TALKING TO ME A LITTLE BIT THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. MY DAD PASSED AWAY ON MARCH 16, AND I KNOW THE LAST FEW DAYS WERE HARD ON DONALD, THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE PASSING THROUGH THE ROOM. SO SORRY ABOUT THAT, DONALD, THANK YOU FOR PUTTING UP WITH US ALL. AND FRANK, I MISS YOU AND YOUR WIFE ON TUESDAY AT MUSIC, I KEPT TRYING TO GET OVER THERE TO SEE YOU, BUT MY WORK SCHEDULE DIDN'T HELP. FRANK, I WISH YOU WOULD CALL ME, WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU BOTH A HUG, I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE IT TO THE FUNERAL EITHER, WORK AGAIN. GIVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER TO ANGIE AT BETHLEHEM WOODS AND I WILL CALL YOU, I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO TALK TO YOU. LOVE YOU ALL, GENTILES
With deepest sympathy to Don's wife and family.
May each of you find comfort in the many memories you shared.
It was a pleasure working with Don at Harvester, some great stories from Road Test days.
