When I asked Linda Iovino how her brother Donny was, this is what she responded.  I thought I would share for those of us that new him.

Kevin Schoen

Donny graduated in 1971 @ HPHS.

Sadly, Donny took his life in 2002.  He was living in Mesa, Arizona with his wife Nancy, and children Lee and Jenna.  Lee is 36 years old and Jenna is 34 years old.  It has been 20 years this past February 6th that he is gone.  He was my only brother.  I think about him everyday.

Everyone was shocked when it happened.  His funeral was like Elvis had died.  Many attended and gave him a great send off.  He is buried at St. Mary's Cemetery in Lake Forest with our Mom (83 years old - February 22, 2000) and Dad (90 years old - October 8m 2008).  We are only 4 girls left.  Regina in Corvallis, Oregon.  Richetta and I live in our parents home in Highland Park on Green Bay Road.  Our sister Anita is MIA in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

I will be celebrating my 70th Birthday this July!  All my family will be here including Donny's family.  

Sincerely,

Linda Iovino

P.S.  Wishing you the best with your family not only personally, but professionally also!  

Attached are a few photos of Donny.  He was only 48 years old.
