appointments. Donnie was a loving and caring husband, father, grandfather and

culinary talents. Donnie was always there with a good joke or funny story to lift your
spirits. He never passed up the chance to spend the evening playing euchre and
listening to music. Donnie also took great pleasure in traveling, especially to the
