After many years away from the south shore I had the pleasure of seeing Donny at the sales counter at Lohnes lumber. He recognized me and it was a wonderful conversation of how we were in the same home room at hebbville high Mr Macdonald was our home room teacher. Donny was always quiet and reserved. In closing, he was beyond generous in the lumber I purchased
( ship lap siding )
that day back in 2010.
Rest In Peace Donny.
My condolences the family.

So sorry to hear this terrible news about Donny. He always remembered you when you came to get lumber, and was always ready to help. He was a genuine "go-to" guy. He will really be missed for his knowledge, good humour and kindness. Our sincere condolences.

Donny was a bright spot, having had many chats with him during my trips to Lohnes Lumber for building materials and shavings. He was so quiet, kind and also very funny. I loved talking to him. And I'm just so sad he's gone. I will plant a tree in remembrance of him, and I wish I could just go over to the mill and he'd be there still. This is devastating news. I pray the family be healed and find solace, and be able to look forward to seeing Donny again, through the power and love of Jesus.

Loss is never easy, but the burden is greater when the good ones leave us early. Donny was without question, one of the good ones.
Rare was the time when a visit to the mill did not include an opportunity to touch on a worldly matter and find an opportunity to share a laugh. Any topic would do and his insights and opinions always well grounded. He was proud of his family and his good nature was something all of us can draw inspiration from.
You will be missed Donny and you won’t be forgotten. My sincere and heartfelt condolences to Donny’s family at this difficult time. Keep your good memories close.

Donny and I have been friends for over thirty years and though we didn't get together in person often we did maintain our long-standing friendship through correspondence. My last email from Donny was October 12th to wish me a Happy Thanksgiving. As I poured over years of written words this week it was so clear to see how much he loved his family and his pets. He never had a bad word to say about anyone. What also stood out was his commitment to his work at the mill. He had such a strong work ethic that he worked many days when he just wasn't feeling well. Donny was a kind, gentle person who would help anyone if he could.
One of my fondest memories of Donny is him trying to teach me how to play an electric guitar in the store room at Lohnes Red n' White.. We had a lot of laughs while he taught me to play Smoke on the Water.
I will miss my dear friend. My heart aches for your loss.

Donny was always kind & sweet in all his dealings, never once saw him angry. He had a smile for every person he encountered. If he knew you, his eyes sparkled like diamonds at the sight of you, a rare human being. Again, so sorry Jeanne, Jeff, Danny, Christina, Devon & Merrick, Sandy, & familes, & all the aunts & uncles that he cherished. The loss is deep, just imagine Heaven's gain. Will be praying for all of you. Patsy & family.

He was so very friendly and would always go the extra to help me out. I dont think I can ever go back there again . It just would not be the same. I do know about Great loss and the other person who posted about them always being close is !00% right. Just be open to the signs they will be there. Always God Bless you all.

Jeanne and all of Donny’s family.....there are no words of comfort that can be said at this time (I know so well) that will take the pain away. I can say it will ease and not be so hard but still the memories will sneak up on you from nowhere and silently slip from your eyes. Embrace the tears they may bring you some comfort and possibly remind you of the good times. Donny will be beside you from now until you meet again, just listen and you will hear his voice, look and you will see the signs he will send you, you may even feel his gentle touch, but most of all he is always with you. Love and hugs sent and know I will always be here for you

My condolences to the family as Donnie, as he and I became good friends when I was going to the saw mill to see elmer when we would negotiate purchase of equipment in the yard or woods. Donnie would say you can catch him here at the mill around a certain time of the day and sure enough elmer would be there. We spent a lot of time talking about the Boston Bruin win or lose, he will be missed rip my friend.
