You will be missed Donny!! He was a kind and generous man who would leave provisions for the homeless person living under his apt building stairs. He would help anyone in need! The world will be less of a good place now that he’s not in it.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time. Rip Donnie 🙏🙏💕💕
Donnie was one of the old “Royal Village kids.” The boys played baseball spring, summer and fall, every day, on a vacant lot on 11th St. in Front Royal many years ago. The good ole days. RIP Donnie.
