My family lived across the back lane from the Swain’s for many years lots of fond memories of growing up and knowing Donny. He always was a happy guy and made me laugh talking about his adventures. He was one of the good guys and I’ll miss his messages and jokes from him. Rest in peace Don you lived a full life and you’ll be missed by so many - Posted by: Cathy Boyce (Friend) on: Jul 13, 2025
