Thinking of the Cookingham family and loved ones who knew Donnie. I had the pleasure of meeting Donnie twice -- once when I was just a kid (for the Cookingham Reunion back in the mid 80's) and again in 2008 when my father (cousin Pete) and I took a trip to NY to visit family. I remember spending time with Donnie and thinking he was a pretty cool guy; he was such a good man to his family, his friends, and his community. I will miss him.
