Donnie was a great guy. I always rember him with a pencil behind his ear in school and as a telecommunicator with the police department, we were in constant contact even if was just via the radio. Wonderful funeral service. He is missed.

I agree with Al's comments. Donnie and I go back to Peck School and I'll always remember him with a smile. We had some good times and so sorry we lost him too early. No doubt he is watching us from a better place. RIP Donnie!

Another classmate gone too soon. Donnie and Patti visited our home, brought delicious food, and also brought many laughs and memories after Lee had surgery. We had such a great time visiting with him. Always smiling. RIP Donnie Burns.
