In Loving Memory of

2 Corinthians 4:18

When eyes of blind ones see again

And ears of deaf ones hear again,

When deserts blossom as the rose

And from parched ground fresh water flows,

When lame ones leap just like the hart,

When loved ones never have to part,

Such blessed times you'll realize,

If you keep your eyes on the prize.

When tongues of mute ones speak again,

When old ones will be young again,

When earth will yield her rich increase

And all good things will never cease,

When songs of children fill the air,

When joy and peace are everywhere,

Then, too, you'll see the dead arise,

If you keep your eyes on the prize.

Donald retired from Huntsville Utilities as a

Service Rep. He attended S.R. Butler High

School then got a GED. He married Elizabeth

Lusk on February 1, 1961 and raised 3

children. He began studying the Bible and he

and his wife got baptized in 1972 as Jehovah’s

Witnesses. This brought a big change in their

lives. Family vacations were combined with

religious conventions in many cities and states.

After retirement, Donald and Elizabeth

traveled. They liked Disney World so much they

went the next year. Also made many trips to

Memphis, Gatlinburg and Panama City. After

being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, their

lives slowed down. More TV time! They both

enjoyed a favorite soap opera “Days of our

Lives” for 50 years. Family and friends will

remember him as a loyal, good man, joyful,

funny, big hearted with a personality that

wouldn’t quit. He will not soon be forgotten! He

loved his family and his family loved him!
