Linda, Todd and James and that special grand-daughter I know that your hearts are heavy at this time but they will heal over time. I will miss Donnie at the breakfast table at the cafe, we had a lot of fun. I am still not able to get out much so I won't be able to attend the viewing or funeral. I will be thinking about your family and have you in my prayers. May God bless Phil

Linda & family, I just want to send my sincere condolences to you all. I was about 7 years old when I met Donny & you. We were new to the neighborhood and Donny was the guy that worked on everything cool. Like any little kid I'm sure I got in the way sometimes watching him, but he never let it show. He would say things like can you hand me that wrench, push on the petal, hold that wheel, etc. Or we'd jump in the truck and go get parts. He would always include any of us kids if we'd show up to watch. All of us kids looked up and admired him. People were more than just neighbors back then, they were friends. That was over 40 years ago, but still some of my best memories of living near the Cave were in your driveway. Over the years, once in a while I'd run into Donny and we'd catch up for a few minutes. It was always a pleasure seeing Donny, just like being around him as a kid. It would be great if every kid had a neighbor like Donny. I'm very grateful for the time I spent around him and I will surely miss my friend. Take Care & God Bless you Donny and your Family.

So Sad of just hearing this,Donnie was a good guy whom would stop by here and if anything just to say hello,He was a good neighbor and will sorely miss him..My Dad use to say he was the best welder in the world and if you have seen his ability you would understand...I always told Dad he could weld two pieces of wood together....R.I.P. God Speed....
