Donald Cole Obituary

Donald Stewart Cole of Lodi went to be with the Lord on November 16, 2010. Donald was born to Loren and Evelyn Cole on Otober 4, 1934 in Carbonadale, Pennsylvania. After graduating from high school in 1953, Don enlisted in the United States Air Force and served four years in various places including Castle Air Force Base. Following his Military Service Don moved to Ione, California and was employed by American Lynight Co. Don returned to school and graduated from Humphreys College obtaining a degree in electronics. Don went to work for Intel Corporation and later retired from Komag Corp. Don married the love of his life, Judith Zimmerman, of Lodi, in 1971 in Ione, California. Don is survived by his wife, Judy, two nephews David and Stephen Cole and many cousins. Don worshipped his Lord at Temple Baptist Church, Lodi. Final burial arrangements were handled by The Neptune Society. At Don's request, no services will be held.

Please receive my heartfelt condolences, Judy, for the loss of your husband. Its been years since I've seen you both, but coming over to your house many years back, to play on you grand piano (when you had recently bought it) is a fond memory of mine. My heart goes out to you, but I take comfort in knowing that Don loved the Lord and is now delighting in His presence! With lots of love, Analisia Basurto

Dear Judy,
We prayed with you through Don's surgery and the last five weeks. The Lord called Don home. He is with Jesus now but we miss him.

Thank you for the wonderful visit we had with you both on our last trip to Lodi.

We will be praying for you in the days ahead.

Love, Kurt and Jan Wojke
Kirkland, WA.
