Rip Don. Condolences to Linda.
I agree, Ron. "Attitude". He could bust 'em with the best of them.
Don drove a Pepsi truck. He could make you feel 1/2" tall if you were drinking a Coke.

Besides racing with him here in Div.1 me and Billie went to Gainesville twice and met him there. The Don was always good for a laugh or two. RIP.

Donnie will be missed by all who knew him. He ran out of our shop in Vineland for many years before him and Linda headed South to Florida and we would see him when he came up for the Dutch every few years. He always had a great sense of humor and would always bust the waitress chops when we went to lunch every Saturday at a little Greek place called the Olympia cause they only served "Coke" products and not Pepsi. I'm glad that my Dad was able to get down to Florida in Feb. to see him and spent the day with him and Linda. RIP Don, you will be missed.
