Larry & Todd, I was so sorry to hear this sad news. Donnie was a good friend for many years. He gave me one of my first jobs in 1973 and I certainly enjoyed learning from him some of the ins and outs of the flooring business. I was always impressed by his passion for mopars and his eye for detail. I will miss him as will many more, especially those in the car show circuit, Donnie's cars set the "bar" high and if he was bested in a show then that guy really had something to brag about.
If there is anything I can do for you guys, please let me know.
