Our heartfelt sympathy for the loss of someone so special. I was always amazed at how,in spite of all his health issues, Donny could always be so upbeat and outgoing. How he loved telling tales of his encounters with so many interesting bands, and always seemed to have a picture or two on hand. He never lost sight of all the good things he experienced in his life.
He will be missed by all who knew him.
