    Sympathy to Don’s family. I had Glenn’s and Jane’s children in first grade and Don and Fran would always come for Grandparent’s Day. One year Don brought me a wooden apple he had made and I have always treasured that. He loved his grandchildren and was very supportive of them. Peace to his memory.

    I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Don. He was a good neighbor and a good bus driver. For many years I was able to use that bus ride as my “study hall “ to get my homework done before getting home and going to the barn to do the milking and other chores. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time

    I used to talk to Don at the farmer’s market when he went with Carol. Don talked about the things my dad and him did. He had some good stories. So very sorry

    I am sorry to hear of Dons passing. As a neighbor and a teenager I learned so much from him
    working in the summers during my high school years. Don taught me work ethic, honesty, and how
    to play basketball.

    Cousins and family,
    I am remembering your dad today and the many tractor rides I took with him. I remember thinking how strong he was and kind and gentle. He was always so proud of the way he set up the woods for hayrides and I can see his smile as he pointed out all the scenes. Uncle Donnie will be missed and remembered. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
