The world was a much better place having known Don. He was loved by so many people. I was fortunate to have known Don since we were very young. Don had so many talents including his music, his ability to do anything automotive, he helped me to restore an antique 1958 Chevrolet that could have won car shows. He and his band played for many, many appreciative audiences. One time he turned the party room at 2016 Main into a Night Club environment that every guest there would never forget. Don had a great sense of humor.. and could beat anyone in a game of pool. Our loss is Heaven's gain. I pray for Don's family, that God will give them strength and healing at this time. Don, we love you and miss you. Thank you for being my friend. Sincerely, Barrett Adair and Family.
Donnie's the tall one on the right :)

My thoughts and prayers are with Donnie and his family. I will miss Donnie. My life is better having known him and I am thankful that he is at peace and free from pain now. I added a photo from the 80's. I can still hear Donnie's laughter, he was amazing.
