Dear, Juliette, Sheila (John) Laura (Ross) Donnie, Louis and Grandchildren, please accept our profound condolences at this time.
Rena and I are out of town and just found out this sad news. We have so many fond memories of Donnie from out time working together and of course from the West Side. Donnie was simply a joy, his kindness and silent support to so many of us made our lives all the richer. He had an awesome sense of humor, and I enjoyed our conversations immensely. I was always in awe of his courage to stand toe to toe with anyone he encountered at work even when us younger fellows would try to intervene, he never back away from any trouble. May you take comfort knowing we share in your loss and strength from our prayers.
Sincerely,
Paul & Rena Smith

Donny was a really really nice man. Always up for conversation. The Murphy Hill Christmas lights were always a must see. Traffic jams galore. lol . Donny and Louie Murphy would drive all over hells half acre. Just bombing around in this great big boat of a car. I think Juliette called everyone she knew to stay off he road when them two warriors were out and about. Always looked like Stevie Wonder might have been driving. lol. What a riot. They always stopped for a chat, and it was just a blessing to see them together.
God bless you Donny and all your family. You were a sweet heart of a man.

My sincere condolences to my Aunt Juliette, cousins Sheila, Laura, Donnie Jr. and Louis on the passing of my dear Uncle Donnie. He was a kind and caring soul and I remember when my Mom Jeanne was very sick in Rocmaura, Donnie and Juliette came to visit her and when they left Donnie reached over to me and placed a twenty dollar bill in my pocket... they wanted me to buy dinner on them. This was very typical of Uncle Donnie and Aunt Juliette... Love to the entire family, RIP Uncle Donnie
