Tony DON Obituary

DON, Tony Our father, Tony Don passed away peacefully in the home he proudly built 57 years ago. Dad was born and raised in Barrio Hollywood on Tucson's Westside. He was a lifelong member of the Carpenter's Union 408. He took great pride in pointing out to us the many projects he worked on, like the C.A.P, U of A, and the many other labors of love for his friends and family. An avid sportsman, he earned a place in the North American Pope and Young Record Book. But his proudest achievement was his family; his wife Delfina; his grandchildren, Christina Bianca, Omar, Samir, Azarine, Alizeh and Sara Christina; and his daughters, Thelma (Bahram), Sandra (Ramadan) and Chrissy, with whom he is now reunited in Heaven. Dad cherished his many friends, nieces and nephews as well as his honorary grandchildren. We will celebrate his life on Monday, March 27, 2017 at Most Holy Trinity Church at 1300 N. Greasewood Rd. Rosary 10:30 a.m. Funeral Mass 11:00 a.m. Arrangements by EVERGREEN MORTUARY.

I remember walking past your house over the many years and often seeing him out in the yard which was always immaculately kept. You could tell how much love and care he put into everything. Rest in Peace Uncle Tony and my deepest sympathies to the Don family. Much love from Panama.

Tio Tony, Thanks Gracias, for so many fond memories, I'm very thankful that I got to thanked you for being such a caring and thoughtful uncle, your kind and loving words and getting all of us kids in your truck's bed (when that was ok) for snowcones, you left so many pleasant memories with those that love and knew you.
I know that now you're rejoicing being with all your love ones and in God's wonderful care.

Tony was very instrumental in my life. In the early 70s, he brought his truck into the Firestone I worked at (at 1st and Grant) and I was a tirebuster. He had long talks with me and told me I had potential, all I needed to do was apply myself. He even invited me to his "mini-ranch" on Greasewood for dinner. I quit my job that year and I enrolled at the UofA. I received my master's degree five years later and have been teaching elementary students that they can be anything they want ever since! One man can make a huge difference, and Tony was the man that made all the difference in my life!

I was very lucky to have met and work with Tony as a Union Carpenter also, he is a good man who would carry everyone around him thru the day with joy and laughter. He will be missed by many.

Mrs Don & family,
I'm so sorry to read of Mr. Don's passing.
I used to look forward to chatting with him
when he used to work on his yard and I would be walking my dog. My thoughts and
prayers are with you all. God Bless.
