Donnie loved to play pitch, pinochle, and cribbage with all the local guys at the card room in Palmyra. Donnie could often be found fishing and mushroom hunting at his special spots. He loved to be "in the know" and was always interested in what was going on in the community. He spent many years taking care of his father, James W. Keller and the two of them were inseparable. Donnie will be missed by his family and the many people who loved him.
