Born in Bethesda, MD, he was the first-born son of the late Paul F. and Laura (Gamala) Smith. He spent most of his years in Middletown and Newport, but also resided briefly in Virginia and South Carolina, the latter being the resident state of many dear family members with whom Donald remained in contact with until his death. At the age of 14, Donald was awarded Eagle Scout for high achievement in scouting, an honor he was most proud of. He graduated from Middletown High School in 1969 and went on to earn his Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Roger Williams College in 1978. |
