Molly and Family-

We share many fond memories of Don's countless miles and good company in the "two-wheel" world of bicyclists. He was always a thought-provoking conversationalist and insightful observer of the world. We extend our deepest sympathy for your loss.

One of the most wonderful men I've ever had the privilege of knowing. Inspiring, humble, curious, energetic, generous, caring, wise, gracious, funny, clever, accepting, brave, forgiving, brilliant.

Don has been a role model for my life for the 45 years I've known him, and so he has become an important part of me. I'll carry that part proudly, and nurture it in the hopes that I can pass on some of the wisdom and lessons to even a small percentage of the number of people he touched. And I will move to replace the deep loss with tremendous gratitude for knowing him, and with my commitment to keep a part of his essence alive in me, to hopefully bless others in the way he has blessed me.

My deepest condolences to Kelly, Molly and Don's entire family, as well as to all those whom he touched. A truly great man.

Dear Molly and family; we are so sorry to learn ofDon's passing.
A year ago we were visiting while awaiting our apps.at the James and he looked so good. We have great memories of our times together. We are blessed to know Don and to know you. I remember when we went to North Channel on our boat; he though his time was limited and yet look how much longer he lived.

Love and prayers, Kay and Bob Schirtzinger

My sincere and deepest condolences to everyone in the Marsh family. I am Ted Harder's daughter. Dad not only knew Don through business, but considered him a dear friend. I am proud to own two Model T Fords that dad purchased from Don. I like to picture Dad, Don and Ferg sitting around telling stories in heaven. (And probably trying to stir up some mischief.) Our loss is Heaven's gain. Prayers and love for you all.

I first got to know Don when the family moved to Rockport, IN. I was, I believe in the 3rd grade at S. Central and he was one or two grades behind me. Always thought he was so good looking. Sister Rosemary was in my grade and she and I became good friends. My sympathy to Rosemary as I know how she loved her little brother.

Kelly

My deepest sympathies at the loss of your Dad. Having worked at MidVo as a teenager and crossing paths with him over the years, your Dad made a lasting impression on me that I have never forgotten. He is a wonderful man and I count myself honored to have known him.

Kelly sorry to hear about your father, I worked at VW North from 1976 to 1986 and when I first started as a tech your father came out and held a throttle cable for a type 2, I did not know him then but later I did find out who he was from the service manager Mike Peyton. God bless your family.
