I had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Donnelly for THE RIDE eligibility, and his warm sense of humor really made him stand out in my mind. I was very sad to hear of his passing, and I send my condolences to his family and friends.

Mike was always a joy and a pleasure to sit and talk with. He will be sorely missed, he leaves a void in so many people's lives. Now he can finally rest in peace and I know he will entertain those that he now is reunited with in heaven. He earned his place considering everything that he endured on earth.
