Donald Peter DeStefanis

Don: I will always remember our days spent together at Kiss-FM. We had quite the afternoon drive fun! And the remotes...you always made me look good even though YOU did All the work! Please put in a good word for me in heaven, I'll need it. You are in my prayers. May God bless.

I just wanted it in words about when I came to the house for a 4th of July celebration with Joe, Tara, and Mike. I felt welcomed and enjoyed my time there very much. Good friends and great food make for an awesome memory I will have for a long time.Thank you; Don & Lisa, for opening your home to me.

I remember Don as being one of the first people I met when I began working at WKSG. We drank a lotta coffee together and worked many hours in those studios. I remember we both took pictures of each other sitting in front of the on air board. I'm sure somewhere in his photo books, he still has those. Donnie voiced the first ever piece of production with my name in it. For years it was Donnie P who kicked

I remember Don as being one of the first people I met when I began working at WKSG. We drank a lotta coffee together and worked many hours in those studios. I remember we both took pictures of each other sitting in front of the on air board. I'm sure somewhere in his photo books, he still has those. Donnie voiced the first ever piece of production with my name in it. For years it was Donnie P who kicked off my show with, "It's late ...it's dark...and it's Keith Allen!"

We spent many hours talking radio after WKSG. We also worked together at WHND. Those were some good times. So many of my earliest radio memories include Don. Over the years we spent many hours on the phone, discussing radio, the Bible, and good music.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of my friend. In life we seldom meet people like Don. He is genuine. He is friendly. He was a good family man. He made people laugh and smile. He was loved by many. In reading the posts on his facebook page, I know just how special a guy he was.

I will miss my friend, but rejoice in the fact that I will see him again someday.

To Lisa, Dayna, Don, and the rest of his family - I wish you God's comfort in the days and months ahead. Know that this is not goodbye - Don is waiting for you, in a place free from hurt and suffering.

So long, Donnie P. Spin some good soul records for me up there!!

Dear Don,

As I sit here typing this memorial message, I keep asking myself if I am dreaming and you are not really gone. It is with great sadness, that I have to say goodbye to you! I know that you fought a hard battle but i guess Jesus wanted you with him, as he had another plan for you. One thing is certain, none of us know when we will be called back to our Lord, we must enjoy every

Dear Don,

One thing is certain, none of us know when we will be called back to our Lord, we must enjoy every day of our lives and live each day to the fullest!
You did that Don and much more!!!!!

You were a loving Husband to your beautiful Wife and devoted Father to your Son and Daughter. You were blessed to walk your Daughter down the asile and experience the joy of being a Grandparent. You were a loving Brother, Dear Friend to many and committed Christian. There was so much more for you to experience here but I know you are in heaven looking down on all of us!

Growing up with you was a gift that I will forever treasure! I remember when you use to hang out with Rose and me, upstairs, listing to records. It was always fun when you would keep me company when I watched those two little girls, that lived on Willard street. You use to do silly voice impersonations and make them laugh! I knew then, what an excellent parent you would one day be! Look how good your children turned out and it is obvious how much they love you! I was so happy when we got back in touch through facebook and I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to keep in touch with you once again.

There are so many people that adored you, just looking at the facebook posts, tells a clear story of how many friends you had and how so many people whos lives you touched, cared so much for you!

Thank-You Don for all of the precious memories we shared. Thamk you for being my support person and dedicated friend! I will always thank God that we met and for all of the good times we shared.

I am very sad that you are gone but I will see you again in Heaven one day! Until then, please watch over us all! Never let us forget to smile and remember all the silly things you did to bring one to our faces, if we forget. Hold us up when we think we can't go on and pray for us!

On behalf of myself and all those who love you, Thank You Don!
We will NEVER forget you!

With Love and Friendship, Cheryle Riddle

We are so sorry for your loss at such a young age. There are no real words than can relate how much we really cared about Don. As Nita said last night he was always so cool to really talk too. Always up on music, things going on with the family. The guy who seemed to always know what to do when the chips were down. I always liked, and enjoyed our conversations. He never got angery after 30 years

He never got angery after 30 years when I called him Ron. He took it with a smile and a hug.

I know in my heart Lisa he was your Rock and kept you on track. Don will be missed by all of us.

Love in my heart for you and your little family in this dark hour.

Lisa, Dayna, Don Jr. There are no words I can say to console any of you right now. It was quite obvious that Don loved his family and friends, and we all loved him too. He was always there to lend a hand, to be the one to console anyone who just needed a hug. He could always bring a smile to your face, and in fact I always waited for the "punch line" when he started talking.

Donnie you
