Don. You will surely be. missed. We both retired the past two years. Thought we would have had more time to hang out. Will miss you buddy. John.

Donnie was a rare and special guy. He was my brother's best friend. I so loved the stories and the warped humor. He was stubborn as all get out and to try to get him to change his mind was useless. He will be missed. Christy, my heart is with you.
