You will be greatly missed.

I will always remember the first time I met Ponyman when I delivered a load of fill sand to him. The funny thing is… My brother Norm lived next door to Donny and had gotten the job for me to put up Donny’s new shed. Donny said he would need about 4-5 loads; by the time the job was finished he ended up with 20 loads. LOL. From that time on we became the best of friends, he even got behind the wheel for me as we were both in the same line of work.
I enjoyed all our bullshit sessions, from work, hunting, old cars and everything in between.
I especially loved Helen’s cooking and Donny’s famous steaks. We enjoyed many New’s Years Eve meals together up north. I have a lot of great memories of all the times I spent down south with Donny and the boys.
I will miss Donny dearly.
Prayers to all the family.
Ponyman was a man among men. He wrote the book on “work ethic”. He was a mentor, friend, tough task master and great company. I learned more from him about trucks–and life –than anyone.
Prayers and condolences to the entire Prokop crew.
