Donald "Don" Breitenbach

Sending blessings and fond memories of a slumber party at the Breitenbach "ranch" for a bunch of Lynne's friends. This was in the 1960s and so I it's vague, but I will never forget the wonderful hospitality extended to a bunch of adolescent girls, and the experience of waking up to watch the sunrise in a beautiful horse pasture. Later in my life, while working for a local hospice, I believe I visited the family when Evelyn was nearing the end of her life. May they both be remembered well....

I'm sad to read about Don's passing. He was always so kind to me and showed interest in knowing about my life. I first got to know him as a very young member of the teacher's union negotiating team in McFarland. We may have had different options on subjects , but he was always respectful of others. I remember his son Scott as a student in my art classes, and his daughter Lynn was one of my first art student teachers from the UW. Later in life Don would often stop and buy flowers for his wife...

Don was an amazing human being and a wonderful always welcoming, neighbor.

Our deepest sympathies to you all. Don was a dear friend to our late father Norb. They worked at AMFam together and played golf throughout the years.

Dear Breitenbach Family, We are sad to learn of the passing of your beloved father. What a great and inspirational man he was. The footprint he leaves behind on earth and in your hearts is large and a difficult one to fill. Unfortunately we are on vacation and will not be able to attend the visitation. We are sending our heartfelt sympathy to all of you during this sad time. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
