    Very sorry to hear about your loss. I was able too stop by and talk with him over the last ten years when passing gthrough the my old neighbor. Donnie would be sitting on the front porch, resting after working in his yard. He was always kind and gave me a little update on family. I tried on several occasions to locate his younger brother Robby but the phone number never worked. Maybe one day I can make that connection.

    Sorry for your loss. I never met Donnie but I was good friend with his brother Robbie. He talked fondly of his brother as well as his other siblings. God’s blessing to the family.
