I got to know Donny from his time at Kickemuit Village. He was known there as a man who was always helping out the neighbors. My in-laws always remarked how grateful they were to have Donny help them out. I enjoyed chatting with him when I would see him at the local establishments. He was a real gentleman and a good guy. I will miss seeing him around. RIP my friend and fellow veteran.
