Don was like a grandpa to me. He was my neighbor growing up and made my childhood so memorable. He was one of the sweetest most kind hearted person I know. When I was small I planted a watermelon plant with my sister. We worked so hard to grow it and the neighbors dog destroyed it. My sister and I spent all day trying to save it. Don went to the store and bought a watermelon and a cantaloupe and when we woke up the next morning our plants had fruit. We were so excited. He used to have us over on the weekends and we would help with the yard work, I am sure we were in the way more than we ever helped but he always had time for us and never made us feel like we hadn't been anything less than a true blessing. I love him more than words and am so grateful he found Carolyn. She is like a grandma to me as well. I love you both for always.
Condolences on the loss of Don. We always enjoyed chatting with him at church functions and will miss him too. He was a joy.

Caroline and family,
Terry, So very sorry to hear of your loss. My daughter Dawn and Don worked at Cobalt and shared the same Birthday and a friendship that will last forever.
Don was always there for a smile and conversation. I worked with Don at Cobalt for several years, but had knew him for years before then. I remember telling Don about someone stealing an old ladder my Dad had left me, the next day he brought over an old ladder of his, he would not take any money in exchange. My Dad was an old railroad man and Don would share stories of his time working for the Rock Island railroad. Don would drive around town and if he saw a dog in a pen or that looked like it needed some care he would leave some dog food and spend a little bit of time , which I know these dogs appreciated. I will miss Don, prayers for comfort to his wife Carolyn, and all of his children and grandchildren.
I remember lots about Don.
The most specific thing. Was when he stopped and helped Bob. Bob was fighting cancer. And Don said buddy let me help you.
Bob said I d like that.
We loved Don for his help.
They are together now.🙏❤️
