The Family of Donald Hess ( Bumps )
We don't have a clue where Donald got the name "Bumps", I'll have to ask Kenny to tell me. I have known your family for a long time and although we haven't seen alot of each other over the years,it seems like yesterday. But thats how our journey goes. Donald always greeted us with a handshake,Dot always got the hugs! or that big Hess smile,(that all of you got from your mother)and we even played pool together on the legion team for several years. I respected him for the hard work he did on the Honor Guard and the Sons of the American Legion,I know he's up there with your departed love ones now by the grace of God! Wishing your family love and prayers, your friends Jim and Dot.
