I supposed to visit his brother out in Vegas with him, but we always had scheduling issues. Tell his brother that I still intend to eventually-purchase one of his primo pool cues !!!

Donny was the best, probably most-honest gin-mill operator to ever operate on Main Street in Plymouth !!!

His passing was certainly a shock to my psyche. He was one of a kind and for some reason we got along great. He was so proud of his 299 bowling game core and was proud of the ring that signified that accomplishment. He accompanied me to Laughlin Nevada in 1989 as I had entered the KENO KASH tournament. He shared my joy when I came out on top. He used to tell me of his Grandmother who owned Raub's restaurant would open at 5 AM to accomodate the retired coal miners with their daily shots and beers. God rest his soul he was a certainly a unique soul.
