I'm sorry to have learned this years late. Don was an incredible influence in my life along with Terry Zimdars, Tom B, Bill Hazen, Mark Mc.
I had little experience when Don hired me for WISN-FM....but he saw the potential of a UW-O grad and VN Vet. Don and I had the same values....though he had about 15 years on me.
I appreciated his warmness, his concern, his experience, his direction, his CARING, his subtle humor....and the sincerity of his appreciation for a job well done.
Above is circa 1972-1975. Here we are in 2016....and Don continues to hold a very nice spot in my soul.

There many fond memories of the Froehlich family while attending Garfield Baptist Church ('77 to '89) God Bless you Donna and family.
Your Mom and Dad were special and someday you will see them again. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Don will always be remembered as a helping, caring man who could be considered as a true friend. He will be at home with the Lord.
