As a teenager had Mr Donnett as my math and algebra teacher and respectfully found him to be an excellent and concerning teacher who work very well with his class.

Later in live had the pleasure to be his neighbor on Wallings road and would visit often.

Very sorry to have to read about his obituary he was indeed a good man.
