Donnie was just plain fun. His jokes were plentiful and bold. His sensitivity was deep. His heart and his words were golden. Donnie was a devoted friend. He was a generous man to those in need. He was the lifelong love of his wife, Sandra. He was an amazing father to his daughters and a father figure to many. Most of all, he was an adoring grandfather and great-grandfather. It was his family’s love that gave him inspiration, joy, and abiding happiness.
