Obituary: Herb Donaldson

Obituary: Herb Donaldson

'There weren’t many single fathers in the early 80’s, but Herb was one of them. What he lacked in culinary skills (it’s a miracle his boys didn’t succumb to scurvy given Herb’s dinner rotation of Heinz pork & beans, hot dogs, and frozen dinners) he more than made up for in selflessness and devotion. His boys never missed a single practice, game, appointment, or event.'
