I am so sorry for your loss, Donnie was an amazing man, he would pop up in at the InfoAge radio swap meets and I'd see him at Collingwood nearly every time I was there with "hello computer man" he even let me 40 bucks for a few hours once when I was a bit short buying military vehicle toys which now sit proudly at in my lab at InfoAge.
Rest in Peace Donnie
