He taught me how to step dance

miss him immensely.

He was an amazing step dancing teacher in my younger days who my and my family were blessed to call him friend as well. My brother and I danced together with Donnie throughout the Ottawa Valley and Quebec talent shows. I still have my original book with the steps he taught. I also have his obituary and pictures of when I danced with him back in the day.
His home and basement was his teaching place.

Many happy memories for this time frame will stay with me forever.
