I have fond, but fading memories of Donnie from a very young age growing up in The Village at the lower end of Legion Ave. I lived on Tyler St., he lived on the Boulevard. I was younger, but our lives intersected because I had an older brother, and his house was on my paper route. Danny´s Pond, Summer School, sled riding, Savin Rock, and watermelons come to mind. My deepest condolences.
