Biography

"Donny K." is a soldier in the Aprile crew. He was first seen in 2000 introducing Matthew Bevilaqua and Sean Gismonte to Richard "Richie" Aprile. Often seen at the crew's social club and at private parties at the Bada Bing. Present when Gianluigi "Gigi" Cestone died at the social club. Donny is a member of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America in Local 623 and held one of the "no work" carpenter jobs on the Esplanade construction site for the Aprile crew. One night while having a drink at a bar in Little Italy in Manhattan, John "Johnny Sack" Sacrimoni spots Donny sitting diagonally across from him on the right side of the bar. Ralph "Ralphie" Cifaretto had recently made a disparaging joke regarding Johnny's obese wife Ginny Sacrimoni. Johnny and Donny make eye contact as Donny is laughing and amusingly cutting up with the bartender. Since Johnny knows Donny works for Ralph and assumes he is laughing and conversing about the joke Ralph made about Ginny, Johnny begins to grow angry. He then follows Donny outside the bar to his car. Donny is then attacked and beaten unconscious by Johnny. After the intense beating, Johnny proceeds to urinate on Donny. Donny is known to have received some nerve damage from the beating and has not been seen since. Donny was unmarried and had to take care of his mother.

Anthony "Tony" Soprano Sr. was angered at Johnny. Johnny didn’t seem to have any regret for what he did to Donny, and just nonchalantly said he’d send something to his mother.
