We were so, so shocked in that moment of being informed of Patty and Don's sudden death...How could it be ?
I first got to know Don while he was with Klinedinst, Fliehman & McKillop. I'd been placed with another member of the staff, but one day he was busy, and I met Don.
That was it for me - Don became our attorney forever. Don was just plain gifted with the acumen of Solomon!
His ability to protect us and our business was founded on his innate ability to "read" the future actions of counsel against us, and to play them into a losing position ! He also gave Jean and I practical advice.
He had our absolute trust. Just knowing Don was our attorney gave us peace of mind and confidence. We never met Patty, but we're sure she was wonderful in her own way too...
We'll miss you Don ! You made our lives better.
Our condolences to Donny Jr. and your whole family.

I was lucky to meet Don and Patty when my son joined Pop Warner Football. I always wanted to coach football and he gave me that opportunity. Don was a bundle of energy a great motivator. He taught all the boys life skills. That´s what´s so great about Coach McKillop. He not only did that for the boys but for me as well. I went on to be an assistant and head coach because he told me I could do it. Thank you Coach McKillop. Patty thank you for your kindness when coaching staff would go over Wolfpack and opponents film. You always had a great smile whenever we ran into you. Even after Pop Warners years when Donnie was playing for Poway High. Was always great seeing the McKillops. We will miss you but always in our hearts. Our sincere condolences to you Donnie and your Family God Bless

Donnie and family, my deepest sympathy for the loss of both your parents. Don was a law school classmate and honestly was one of those people about whom I never heard anyone utter an unkind word. May the God of all comfort shower you with His kindness and mercy and presence during these hard days.

Heartfelt condolences to Donny and family. I have fond memories of Don and Patty from our time together in Williamsburg. I admired Don's intellect, his work ethic, and his sense of humor. He and Patty were devoted to each other. So very sad to hear this tragic news.

Dan was a great supporter of Sigma Chi at IUP. I was just getting ready to ask him who he wanted in his foursome this year for our Golf Event in Indiana, PA. He will be missed.

Don and I reconnected when he and Patty would visit one of her fav spots, Sedona AZ, where I now live. It was great to finally meet her and they were definitely soulmates. He never forgot his Sigma Chi roots when he joined Jeff Bird and I at the SD Grand Chap in '15...incl a very memorable day on his sailboat. My sincere condolences to Donnie and family...In hoc!

I started my legal career working for Don at Klinedinst, Fliehman & McKillop. What good times we had there! Don would bring little Donnie to our softball games and we all enjoyed keeping an eye on him. Sending my condolences to the entire McKillop family.

I have so many wonderful memories of Don, Patty and little Donnie attending our summer picnics at Klinedinst, Fliehman & McKillop. Working with Don and fun moments playing softball and indoor hockey. I have always enjoyed anytime spent with the McKillops. The happy memories will be in my heart. Sending my thoughts and prayers to Donnie and his family.
