I am so sorry to learn of Donnie 's passing. Condolences to his family and friends. I have known Donnie a long time.
Met him at The Stadium. He hadn't been in Hagerstown very long, before his marriage to Mel and waiting on the arrival of his baby girl. He was a good man and friend. He will be missed by many.
