I would like to be contacted by Donald’s sibllings to hopefully get more information about his life. I am a relative but sadly did not meet him in person but we did speak on the phone recently. Please contact me via email. It is very important and thank you.
I just realized that email address will not be published, therefore you will need to contact me via this website/blog and make arrangements to talk possibly in person.
I am looking for Denise Bourlier (maiden name) possibly in the Central New York area. Please contact me with any information at [email protected] come indicating Bourlier in subject line.
Thank you.
