I will always remember Donny as our neighbour on Kirwin Avenue. He was a kind and loved member of my family.

I was so very sad to hear that Donnie had passed away...I have many wonderful memories of him...snowmobiling, parties, and casual get-togethers. He was such a sweet, funny, caring, & compassionate man. He will be greatly missed. May he now Rest In Peace.
My deepest sympathy to all of his friends & family. XO

Dear Donnie,
You were always the fun and laughter.....the one who cared and listened with a generous heart. Thoughts of you will always bring a smile and many good memories.
Rest in peace and love.

We’re very sorry for your loss our thoughts are with you as we know you’re all going through a very sad and difficult time with Donnie’s passing. Words aren’t really enough, just know he loved you and cherished how you cared for him through his life and through the disease that finally took him from you.

Many great memories with Donnie,when we were younger,my father often took me down to their home on Kirwin Avenue at that time there was still bush in the back yard,we would venture out into. And for many years my dad and the two of us would go to the Toronto Exhibition going on the different rides,even getting a glimpse of us on the news one time showing two young boys having a great time.its hard to fathom that it was 50 plus years ago where does the time go. With the passing of time things come and go,but memories never do and I will cherish them for as long as I live. Condolences to the family.
