I was so sorry that i was unable to attend donny’s service, but so very thankful that i was able to visit with you both recently.
What a great guy!! A gentle spirit with a huge heart that could light up a room with his presence. i would occasionally see vic, bob, and don in cripple creek having a great time. Precious memories. Know he will be missed tremendously. He was a star that shone brightly. My deepest sympathy.

Char,
The service was such a great tribute. Some how I missed the guest book. Please know that you are in my prayers you and your family. Don sounded like a great guy, wish I would have known him. Love you Talca
Char, Don, and Kerrie: I knew Don from first grade at St. Patricks School. We played football and basketball at St. Pat’s. Later, at PCH too. AS a matter of fact I played against him when he played for Central in the 1964 season. He was a good guy with a great sense of humor and good basic values that his parents instilled. I unfortunately hadn’t seen Don since high school. Please accept my condolences. Ed Martinez
ps: Let me know if you don’t have our St. Pat’s championship picture. Bernie Lay has a copy I know.
Char, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Please know I am thinking of you and your family. You are in my prayers.
Char, I’m SO sorry for your loss, please give my love to your children and Don’s family as well. I remember all of the great times we shared at Corwin and Central! God bless you all and know that I care. Love, Maribeth

Char, so very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.
I went to school with Donnie and St. Patricks grade school. We went through eight years together so the class was pretty close then. It was always a character building day for Sr. Maureen when Dennis Sheehan and Donnie Plutt got in trouble. What a two-some they were.
About 1979 my husband was working in Sheridan Lake CO. We always walked the railroad tracks to find treasures. Across the road from our home at the school there, was a siding. While walking one day a train was on that siding. I heard some one yell”what are you doing out here?” I yelled back when I saw it was Donnie…”I could say the same thing to you” Don’t you just love surprises like that?
Your family must hurt so much right now, but you have a wonderful treasure in your hearts and minds…Donnie’s love for you all.God bless you with the peace and understanding that comes with time.
Char,
I was so sorry to hear about your loss – you are in my thoughts and prayers.

The last time I saw Don he was laughing with friends….that smile is my memory.
That smile was from the heart.
I am so sorry,
Love,
Linda
Char, Donnie Kerrie – We are so sorry for your loss. “D” was such a great person and we know a terrific husband, dad and grandpa.
