Some of my best memories are sitting in his trophy room listing to his old adventures. Donnie was one of the great ones.

I was fortunate enough to visit with him about 4 months ago in nursing home (my grandma was in same place) so I just happened into him while visiting Gma. I had not seen him since having my bow made in 1995 when I was in high school and we had spoken over the phone a few times since that time. He remembers the bow and asked me what poundage again just to make sure. His daughter commented that one of his bows was going into the Bucyrus Historical society also.

He will be missed by many!
