I too, remember Donnie from high school, and the basketball court at the old Boy's Club on the Westark property.  We would play basketball until dark, and Donnie was one of the best.  He was a good friend.  wonderful days;  wonderful friends!

What a quiet guy Donnie was ... but a real threat on the basketball court.  Fast of hand and foot, spunky as a terrier, always on the move. I remember his ready smile, remember playing ball with him as though it were only yesterday.  RIP, Donnie.
