Vi & family Sending condolences your way with Dons passing. Working with Don was a pleasure. He always came into the office with a joke and a smile to make our day much better. So glad to have known Don & had been a part of my life. My memories of Don will be good ones.
- Robert Ellen DentingerVi, Al and Debbie and family. I am so sad to hear of Don's passing. There are people that pass through our lives that
- we respect
- are a witness to us
- are humorous
- generous with time and resources
- become a really good friend
Don was all of these and much more to me. When I have a tough day I can always think back to one of Don's stories as only he could tell a story. It is with confidence that I can say goodbye to Don knowing his destination. Please forgive my absence at Don's service but I will have to stay away due to my close contact with Covid. God Bless
Doug and Elaine Schaab and family

Don lived behind us up on Hinks Street when I was a kid. We often would watch the men on the PUC working . Our little gang of boys had a nick name for Don, and I never forgot it R.I.P. " GUVNER "
