I am saddened to learn of Donnie's passing. We grew up together in Moninger and participated in many activities together while at Chartiers H.S. Although we had very little contact as adults I have always had fond memories of Donnie and considered him a good friend. Please accept my sincere condolences. I know he will be missed by family and friends.
