Audree
I worked with Donnie for about 18 years at Dico, first in the office then out in the shop with him and all the other guys. We had some good times and it was great working with people like him and the rest of the gang. I am sorry for your loss and will offer Mass for him this weekend.
God Bless You

Please know you and your family is in our thoughts and prayers. We love you Audrey, you are so sweet, and God will hold you and get you thru this. All of our love.

We will miss visiting with him & listening to the ball games on his radio as he swang & napped in the front yard.
Could not ask for a better neighbor!
