Bonnie:
My condolences to you on the passing of Don. I recall vividly from years ago the excitement, challenges and good times that we had while working for the Kwajalein Missile Range. He was a good friend.

I still live by the life lessons that he instilled in us as our coach and mentor always do your best at every task, no matter how small, it all counts and also to work hard and to play hard. He made such an impact on everyones life that he touched and will be truly missed.

Mr. Strietzel was always a great joy to be around. Always came into dialysis with a smile on his face. We would always ask each other "whats for dinner" or he would ask "how are the boys". One of the greatest and smartest men I have ever met. You will truly be missed.

Don,I do not remember a time when you did not have a big smile on your face. If anyone was down in the dumps, that smile made everything better. It was great honor to be your friend. You will be missed. Blessings, Joyce Davis

I met Mr Strietzel at a very early age. He lived 2 doors down and was one of Dad's Golf Partners at VHCC (Gary Davis). You always knew what Mr Strietzel thought, because he would tell you. He will be sorely missed. They are probably hitting from the pro tees in Heaven. RIP Mr Strietzel. Prayers to the family.
