Don Kiser

Jan- Even after a year has passed, I still miss Don and the periodic lunches and stories we shared during our retirement years. He lived life to the fullest. Sincere condolences to you and your family. He was a great gentleman and friend. Harry Yahata

Donnie was always the President of our elementary school class. He was elected because of his fairness and leadership ability. He was popular with fellow students and teachers too. I so wish he could have been with us much longer. Paula Johnson

So sorry to hear of Don's death. He was always Donny to me starting in first grade of Prestwood School. And he was always class President. he had quiet leadership skills and classmates respected him. One of those people you never forget. Paula Johnson

So sad to learn we, family and friends, lost him. My condolences to his family and his friends!

Don´s legacy of kindness to all and willingness to help to anyone in need is something I will always aspire to. He also always put so much effort into family Christmas time being as magical as possible. Thank you.

Jan, I'm truly sorry for your grief and loss to your family. Over our years together, I know how much Don meant to you and how much family time meant to you all. I enjoyed very much having you a part of my life and sharing stories. Once again, I am truly sorry. Warren Wilson
