Also left to cherish his memory is his caretaker and the second love of his life, Gene Hasken.

His funeral Mass will be at 10 a.m. Friday, October 20 at St. Brigid Catholic Church, 1520 Hepburn Ave. with burial to follow in Calvary Cemetery. Visitation will be from 2-8 p.m. Thursday at Highlands Funeral Home, 3331 Taylorsville Road.

Mark, so sorry to hear about your Dad. I always had the most respect for him. I know it has been awhile since I had seen him, but I remember when I came over to the house to hang out back in our high school years, your Dad was always so interesting to talk to and knowledgeable. He lived life to the fullest everyday. I know he will be greatly missed to all that knew him. Please give my condolences to the whole family

i had the privilege to work with Don, his family, and his team for many years. I observed how Don treated others with respect; how he listened well; how he cared about those in his charge; how he ran his business with integrity. I respected him, enjoyed interacting with him, and learned from him. God bless all his family, and may His comfort and grace be upon you all, and may you recall many good memories in your lives with Don.

Don was our friend for 35 years. He was without the most caring and honest person I have ever known. We were so blessed to know him well for these many years. Don demonstrated the tenderest devotion to his wife Gerandine during her long illness with Alzheimer's. He went everyday to feed her and care for her. This was a life well lived and an example for everyone that knew him. We spent nearly every Tuesday visiting and having lunch... Tuesday's will never be the same.
