Kenn Blankenship wrote a sympathy message

“Donnie had to be the best basketball player I ever played but even moreso was a great and fun loving human being..I played behind him in military school and had to guard him every day in practice. Later that summer he and his family welcomed me into their Chester home so a southern boy could live out his hoop dreams. I played at many public parks that summer in the city and faced great competition but no one ever as good or as gifted as the one and only Donnie Dodds. Love U friend..Kb-Sptbg”

John J Bychkowski wrote a sympathy message

“Seems like only yesterday that we attended his father's funeral and after service get together. At the time I hadn't seen Donnie in about 35 yrs when I ran into him at a chance encounter in Orange County California where he came out on some basketball adventure. He finally told me what that was all about. Donnie had an athletic gift. Watching him move to the basket was a work of art. But it wasn't only basketball. He could excell at any sport. RIP Sun Hill neighbor. My condolences to his family.”
