Donald Roesner Obituary

Roesner, Donald A., passed away Friday, August 10, 2007 after a long battle with cancer. Don was born August 25, 1938 in La Veta, Colorado, the eldest son of Donald B. Roesner and Helen (Sheneman) Roesner. Don and Donna are the owners of PPS Packaging Company in Fowler, CA. Don was an accomplished owner of several businesses during his career but his greatest pleasure was spending time with his family, his many friends and sharing this time with his devoted wife, Donna, whom he loved with all of his heart. Don and Donna had a special loving bond throughout their marriage. They enjoyed doing everything together including traveling around the world after Don's retirement. Don was a caring, happy person that everyone enjoyed being around and appreciated greatly the love shown by family and friends. You could always depend on Don to be a great husband, father, friend, boss, mentor and much more. He will be greatly missed. Don is survived by his wife Donna F. Roesner of Sanger, 8 children, 14 grandchildren; a sister and brother and three very devoted dogs. A Memorial Mass will be held at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in Fresno, Ca (Bullard and Maroa) on Monday, August 20, 2007 at 10:00 a.m
