Donnie loved sharing jokes and stories with family and friends. Even though some were “off color” the spirit in which they were told made us laugh. Donnie was a loyal friend. They were a treasured part of his life. He loved spending time with his buddies in the Big Woods or at the shop. Donnie had an enduring affection for his canine companions who seemed to know just where to go for treats and attention. He always made them comfortable on the river porch by sharing whatever he had to offer. Most importantly, Donnie loved his family. He enjoyed family time at the river, holiday gatherings, and just relaxing on the porch at the river, laughing and sharing stories with those most dear to him.
