I am so sorry to read that Donald has passed, a man I first met about 50 years ago when hauling pulp to the IP in Jay. Soon after i met and spent time with more of his family, a family so full of love and giving, loved and respected by all.
I am forever honored to have had the privilege of knowing Donald Scott Millbury, a truly great man. This was back in the day of the Haleyville Race Track, and watching the bear at the dump.
My love and prayers go out to all of the ‘family’ and friends at this time of grief.
RIP, Donkey
Betty, Stephanie, Scotty and Dawn and all the Millbury family. Donkey was a great man . sending my condolences. He will be greatly missed.
Sorry for your loss.
