Condolences from the family of Delores and Christi, daughter and granddaughter of Dorothy. Uncle Donny will be missed and never forgotten. My most vivid memory of Uncle Donny was his belt buckle that held silver dollars. He would give me silver dollars/half dollars? when he came to Grandma Dorothy's house and I just thought he was the best uncle ever. Mom says she always remembers that he was her mom's little brother and he was always nice and sweet to her. To one of the sweetest uncles ever...hugs and kisses to all of you and Aunt Sharon.
