I write this wishing I could be there, but knowing that Grandpa would prefer me to remember him for the person he was, not the disease that took his life. I will always remember the good times with him, my first Sox game, his hatred of Pizza, his love of Cooperstown, and of course his "colorful" language. It's sad to think that I won't see him again, but I'm glad to have known him when he was happy and healthy. He may be gone now, but he will never be forgotten.

So very sorry to hear of Donny's passing.
It was 1973 when I worked my first day at the Kitchen. It still is one of my favorite jobs that I ever had. Donny was alot of fun to work with even though he was the boss.
In all the years I worked at the Kitchen, I remember Donny taking off one Saturday. He, Dick and I believe Ronnie or Mr. McGee took the wives to see "The Sting". He and Dick called the Kitchen every chance they got. We only made about 6 house pies that night....

I never had the pleasure of actually met Mr. Lawler, but did have the pleasure
of working for his son in NC and hearing many loving stories about him from his son Chip.
May God be with you and your family in this time of sorrow - and always.
Chip - you and yours are in our prayers!
