Tributes to Donnie Iris pour in after his death

Donnie Iris was a giant. An absolute joy to be friends with. There should be a statue of Donnie erected immediately & put at the Wylie. His talent was only matched by his kindness & he was the best hang you could ever ask for. RIP King Cool you’ll live on forever in Pittsburgh
