Just came across this. I was a friend at High Mowing School. He was known to us as Whimpy and he was well loved by all of us. He was kind, funny and caring. A big loss for so many. So very sorry for your loss, Dana. He was too young.

Hi Dana. Needed to express my condolences to you on Donnie's death. I dated Jim back in the day and really appreciated Don's humor and sensitivity. He was always just great, welcoming and supportive - always. He'll be so missed, Val (Danfoth) Fast

I remember Wimpy from my years at High Mowing School. He was a couple of years behind me and we weren't close friends, but he was a really good guy and we got along well. If I'm not mistaken, I seem to recall that he kept a pet skunk in the dorm, too... And I don't remember any problems with that. (The skunk was probably de-scented, but I don't know for sure.) To Dana and the rest of Don's family, I am very sorry for your loss.

We were in our late teens working at Jonabell Farm , cleaning stalls in a broodmare barn . Donnie would break up the monotony by climbing the short ladder to the loft and calling his beloved dog Useless (his name) to follow him up. It would take poor Useless all the courage and love he could muster up to awkwardly clamber up the ladder to join Donnie who would then climb down and take the ladder away ! You then heard : "jump , Useless , jump !" He would pace back and forth for ten minutes before taking the plunge . Despite this show of tough love for Useless , Donnie was genuinely the nicest guy I ever came across. I miss him

Kip and I just heard the news this Christmas Eve. Our thoughts are with you Dana. He was a wonderful , thoughtful , kind and fun. His inner strength inspired us. And did I mention his sense of humor ?! He will be missed.

So sorry to hear of Donnie's passing. Condolences to you Dana and your families.

Donnie had such a great spirit about him. So sorry for your loss Dana.

Thinking of Don every day since I heard this news .. Many Many years since we were in the same room but Don was my favorite person on earth as a high school classmate and the formative years directly after that..We were room mates two of our four years at High Mowing School .. So many wonderful memories .. DOn's inner strength has been a huge inspiration to me my whole life .. Hugs to Dana (who I have never met ).... I feel deeply your ,and all of our, loss ....

Some of my fondest times in the horse industry was my time working for Donny and you Dana. No better bosses, or horsemen in the business. I'm still in shock. Carlton greeted him at the pearly gates.

Donnie will always be in our thoughts. You too Dana. Love you, anything you need I'll be there. Have great fishing in heaven Donnie.

Dana and Jimmy, my deepest condolences to you both on the passing of Donny. I was so sorry to hear. Sincerely, Kathy McCabe
