As a young man Donnie joined the Army. He was in the Signal Corp. and spent most of his Army time at Petawawa Ont . After leaving the Army he ventured to Windsor Ontario and worked for Chrysler car plant for a number of years. He returned home to Cape Breton and worked for Reeves Homes for a few years . The past twenty he lived in the family home, where he enjoyed the site of the beautiful ocean. He always kept track of the ships and ferries travelling their routes.
