Perhaps you remember this
image from the 1958 Band Page - or
even better, perhaps you remember as I do being in attendance at one of
those concerts. They were truly unforgettable.

Dorothy and family,
My wife Dianne and I met Donnie in 1996 when I switched from Gloucester lodge to Warwick. Donnie was always very respectful to us and we helped him out whenever we could, and we missed him when he moved to Virginia Beach. His passing leaves our ranks emptier but memories richer. May light perpetual shine upon him. ~ Wally and Dianne Johnson, Newport News, Virginia
Sorry to hear of Donnie's
passing. Seeing his picture reminds me of old times we had together
at the Village Restaurant.
~ Luther Lewis, Sun City Center, Florida Sorry to hear about your loss. You know that God and Jesus are in the best position to comfort us when we lose a loved one in death. ~ T Griffin
I was sorry to hear about
Donnie. I knew him from many years ago as grade school kids growing
up in Newport News. I extend my most sincere condolences to Donnie's
family and will pray that our Lord will give you peace.
