Not sure what to say?

Paula, So sorry for your loss. I loved seeing Don’s smiling face. He helped with so many of my clients. It really is heartbreaking.

I remember Don running the 5 k at the Centerville Americana festival. I ran it probably 8-10 consecutive years. He did too. That big giant teddy bear lumbered that 5 k course as often as I did, and maybe at a faster pace. I was in awe at how he pushed that Hoss Cartwright body. We worked together every fall for 10-15 years with developmentally handicapped adults in a TOPS soccer program. He was a big teddy bear full of laughter, compassion and humanity.

So sorry for your loss. We were all so lucky to know Don. It was too early for sure. A great man!!! The best!!! Love and hugs through the holidays. You are a strong family and just remember the great memories!!!!!

I'm so sorry for your loss. The last time I saw Don, was at Costco. He said he was in charge of dinner that night. Then I saw the rotisserie chicken in his cart, and then we both laughed. He always had a smile and I could always tell that he loved life.

With deepest sympathy.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I just found Don has passed away! I went to grade school and high school with his older brother Mike and liked to be with all his brothers. Don had one of the best personalities of anyone I've known.
My deepest sympathy to Paula and her family

The Acres family cannot begin to express the impact Coach Don had on us. He always had a smile for our Tyler and made each soccer game special. The Hot Wheels team is forever grateful for his kindness. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends.

I don’t think I ever saw Don without that big old smile on his face. He was always laughing and joking around. He was so wonderful with all the kids at T.O.P. Soccer. Melissa could never wait to see him. She loved to tease him and give him a hard time. Such a wonderful man. He will surely be missed.
