Donald O'Brien

You'll find to greater father,
And no greater friend.
Than Donald O'Brien,
New residence now, Heaven.

To his wife he was a Saint,
And her biggest supporter.
Loving and selfless,
They went everywhere together.

Many years of togetherness soon came,
A date request after her basketball game.
He started off as the cute bus driver,
Living his life as a true fighter.

The strong and silent type,
A good model for everyman to be like.
Tenderness filled this man's eyes,
His sweet spirit never disguised.

You didn't have to know him long,
To know his heart and where it belonged.
He treasured his family and cared about their needs.
He encouraged their gift and their dreams.

True to his word,
Never a raised voice heard.
Often soft spoken,
Ties that bind us unbroken.

A father of 3,
The start to his Legacy.
Grandchildren and great grandchildren,
To carry on together,
Remembering and honoring,
Both now and forever.
