We, too, are grieved to learn that Donnie Mantta has walked on. We met back in the '70's when Donnie lent us a helping hand in the building of our then log cabin "The Spirit of '76" on Otter Ridge. It was a time when it was Donnie, Bonnie, little Joey, and Aggie still lived in the Alston area. We remember.....and extend our sincere condolences to all the famly members

Next month it will be 42 years ago that Donnie set Jim and I up on a blind date. He was persistent and the 4th time we finally got together and today after children, grandchildren, and life events we are still going strong. Several times over the years I've silently thanked Donnie for this great guy. My hope is that he and his family are surrounded by love, joy, and peace.
Dear Larry,
Chrissie and I send our condolences for your lost. Our love and prayers are with you and your family.
