Not sure what to say?

I taught with Don and his sister Connie at Silver Star Elementary many years ago. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Mary Ann Egging Vancouver, WA

Condolences to Tammy, Carmen, Nancy, and the entire family. So many fond memories of Don when we were neighbors, fishing & hunting partners, wood cutting, trapping, and archery enthusiasts in the 1970´s and 80´s. You took the time to teach a young, goofy teenage kid so much. Rest In Peace Don and thank you for everything

My heart goes out to Don's family. I went to grade school with his sister, Dianne. Take care.

I think this was the third year Goetschius coached our team, and we couldn't have asked for a better coach! He will be missed, but he wont be forgotten... Rest in Peace...

My fifth grade teacher at Marrion Elementary. Later my soccer coach in grade 12. I often thought about him and what he was doing now. My favorite teacher of all time. He made a lasting impression on me all well as many others I'm sure. RIP good sir.

Wow! What to say! Don was a great guy and a great mentor for me as a teen. Stayed friends until about 2002 when life changed and I travelled a lot. Though of him and Tammy and Carperson a lot. God ended up with one of the great ones and we all temporarily lost a friend, father and all around great human being. See you at some point in the future Don Scott Stolz

I count it a life blessing that I played soccer for him for four years on that club. I told him more than once that he was the most significant influence on my life in the years between 12-15. Don, you were the best that´s ever been. I´ll miss you but I live with the hope that I will see you Again.
