My thoughts and prayers are with everyone from Donny's family.
I first met Donny over 30 years ago. When he worked at Duck Soup and then the Lamp Post. He was always a great person to spend time with.

I met Donny back in the 1975 at Duck Soup in Rensselaer. He was the Master of a good pour, which led to an immediate bond that lasted these thrity odd years. He will be remembered as a good man with a big heart. My sympathy to his family.

We met Don almost 2 years ago when our property was next to Don (& Karla's) camp and am sorry we didn't know him sooner. Don was a likable person right from the beginning. He was a good person. Justine, our hearts ache with you. May you find comfort in knowing God at this time of sorrow. We will miss Don when we go up to the lake, especially on the 4th of July.

Our camp on Great Sacandaga Lake was just down the hill from Don's. We couldn't ask for a better friend or neighbor. We had over ten years of good times and good conversations. Justine, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
