Donald Tuscher was a great gentleman who had a wealth of knowledge . Although I didn't see him often, he always shared a variety of topics that were interesting and informative. I well remember when I had a conference telephone in my classroom that connected students with some well known people. Some of the equipment was from his workplace and that made it really special. His ability to research genealogy and share it with others was a wonderful trait and one that I wish I had explored far more with him.
I feel Don was a unique treasure who touched many people's lives from his family to church members and coworkers, and he had a deep impact on me and my life. I will greatly miss him, and we are thinking of your family especially at this time.
