I haven't seen Donnie in about 22 years. I will miss the good times we had together and my sympathies to his family. I have added a picture when we used to have horses together.

Our symapthy goes out to the family of Donnie. We know all to well how it is to loose a family member as well loved as Donnie. We will always remember his humor, his smile, and his love and devotion to his family and firends. My kids will always remember how funny he was, and how he loved to tease.
