Not sure what to say?

I have fond memories of Alice & Don and all the kids when they lived on Sixth Street in Pecatonica. Often wondered where everyone was. I did visit Don & Alice several times once they moved to Freeport. My thoughts and prayers are with you all!

Don,
May your laughter & smile live on through your children and grandchildren. You're "home" now with Alice, rest in peace my friend.

Don and I worked together for 13 years, until he retired. He was a deeply caring man and a wonderful friend. We had some great card games and he made some of the best bean & ham
soup on the planet! I'll miss you Buddy! (Wally)

He was always a gentleman and a good man. So sorry for your loss.

We just heard about Don's passing and wanted to let you know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time! We are on vacation this week so are unable to attend the visitation or funeral but wanted to let you know that we care! May God's loving arms embrace you bringing strength, comfort and peace that only He can give. Sending our sympathy and friendship,

Bill and I are in Texas right now. Sorry to see that you have lost your dad. I always enjoyed seeing him at church and around town. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers this week.

Altho I didn't know your dad, I knew your mother well. I send my deepest sympathy to all of you. I didn't know of your mother's death. They (and your grandmother) were wonderful people. Again God best you all.

Don was a great guy. My thoughts & prayers are with his family at this time.
