I met Donnie when I came to TI in Lubbock. I knew him through the years until he retired from XFAB. He was an extremely talented individual and one of the best Facilities mechanics I have ever known. He was quick and his work was first rate. My sincere sympathy to his wife and family. He will be missed.

I worked with Donnie many years at Texas Instruments and Xfab. A very hard working man. He went way and beyond. One of the sweetest people you would ever meet. I was the one that bought his camper. He will be greatly missed. Until we see each other again.
