Vicki, you probably don't know me, but I wanted you to know that Donnie stood up for us when we got married, my husband was Keith Raske, he passed away in 2001. Donnie also stood up for my brother and they were best friends in their yonger years. My brother is Richard Smith. Donnie was always fun to be around and I have fond memories of us growing up. I am so sorry for your loss.

Our sympathy is with you and the kids Joy. Bill and I were just talking a few weeks ago about Don and wondering where him and the family were. So sorry to hear about his passing. We lost a good mechanic and friend. Our thoughts are with you.
