Hi Tiss Michael Fitzpatrick from Muskegon
Lynda and I send our condolences and sympathy. 97 is a long life and it sounds like you two lived it to the fullest.

Please except my sincere condolences on your family's loss. May 1Co.1:3,4 bring you comfort and peace.

I have many fond memories of cousin Don and also the way he took care of my grandmother (auntie).

Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole Dertien family, especially Tish. Don was a great friend and he will be sorely missed.

We have fond memories of our Uncle Donald. He was like a brother to our mother.

Hi Tish, I don't know if you remember me but I am the middle son of Eloise and George Eddy. I want thank you for the informative obit We have wondered about you and Don for some time. All of Eloise and Georges off spring are still alive.
Enough family history, we are glad that you and Don had a long life together and are very sorry to hear of his passing. He was always a very joyfully guy. Again so glad to find out about the family. You are in our prayers. Tom and Louise Eddy

I worked for Capt. Dertien for several years, as Assistant to the Marine Director, for the Panama Canal Commission. He was fair and professional in all his dealings, and will be sorely missed by me, and many others.

Our thoughts and prayers have been with Don and Patricia for months. Our happy memories of Uncle Don will always will be with us during this time of grieving. Our prayers go to the family during this time also.
