I knew 'Donnie' socially from the time I was 18 and later on we dated and were engaged. He was always a gentle intelligent kind man. Later on when I visited Winnipeg and we were both single I saw him socially a few times and though he was struggling, he was managing his life. My condolences go out to his family at this time, especially his sons and brother Bill, who was also one of our crowd. - Posted by: TERRY (BROWNRIGG) ALEXANDER (Past fiance) on: Sep 22, 2016
