Donna and your entire family I want to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Your Dad was one of a kind. He will be missed. I always remember him when I go by your old house on Wheaton and the one also on Grant Blvd. Remember the Salem Hyde Days, Birthday parties at your house with Mom and Dad. Also, all the times he cut grass all over the City. I used to say hello to him every morning in the Sedgwick Area. He was a great man and Dad.
I always remember when i was a kid and we would drive by his home on grant blvd and he had a huge cross in his front yard with the words jesus is lord he is now with jesus and may he rest in peace in heaven
I had the absolute privilege of meeting Don when he came to OCC to speak about his experiences during the war. His story touched my heart, and I have never forgotten it, or the conversations I had with him. My sincerest condolences to his family, he was an exceptional man.
He was like the grandfather I never had . I will never forget making all that wine with him . I was blessed to know such a humble man. Thank you Don for sharing all your wonderful stories with me. Ya man you are in Jesus arms now . Love ya John Vincentini
TO THE FAMILY OF DON FIDA , WE ARE SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS , HE WAS A GREAT MAN AND DID SO MUCH FOR ALL . MAY HE REST IN PEACE , AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL . ALBERT AND SHEILA VIOLA
Sissy: I was saddened to learn that another on my first cousins had passed away. I was the ring bearer at Donald's wedding to Jilda in 1947, when I was seven years old. I stopped to see Donald a few years ago, the last time we were in Syracuse. He didn't recognize me, at first. After I asked him to take of his sunglasses, he looked at me and said "Joey, Joey" and began to cry. I really enjoyed spending that time with him. May he rest in peace. May God give you and your family the strength, courage and resolve to cope with your loss. God bless you all.
