Our condolences go out to Don's family. He was a unique individual and provided us with a great deal of knowledge on a variety of topics. He will be missed.

My deepest condolences to Tiger and family. I met Don in March of 2003. I am safe to say that without Don's guidance and assistance, I would have lost my current home and perhaps logged a little jail time (something about being a Federal Employee and legally obligated to pay taxes, which I stubbornly did not initially understand). I loved Don; still do. He was more than a friend and I looked forward to our talks; Don had so much knowledge and he freely shared it. I know Don was in pain and he is now in a better place. I pray that he is lighting the way because there are many people here who are now enlightened to what he was not blinded to.

My deepest condolences to Tiger, and to Don's family. I met Don 2001, at the Omelet house, where so many of us met to study law, Share our thoughts and beliefs. Don is quite a remarkable man, always giving and sharing of knowledge, for knowledge is your power. He shared so much with all of us. Don TRULY had A CLUE! I have not seen Don or Tiger in some time. I have never forgotten them. Don is at peace with his creator. I am sure looking upon us all. You are quite a remarkable man. I truly thank you Don for ALL the KNOWLEDGE YOU have given to me.

I'm a 43 year old man today and have known Don since the age of 14. His son and I were very good friends and though his son went up north to Canada sum 25 years ago, I remained friends with Don as he was and remains a very big influence in my life. I will truly miss him and my deepest sincerity to his family and love ones.

I worked for Dr. Hemmeter for many years - some time ago - and remember Mr. Wert well. He would always bring the girls in the office Sees Candies at Christmas. He was a very nice man.

To daughter Patty, My sincere condolances for you and your family. I worked for the Carpet Barn years ago for Steve. I talked to you many times, and played with the kids when you were in the store. Rosie Sharp-Canfield

My condolences to the family of Don Wert. I knew Don by way of hearing aids, he fit my father and he fit me many, many years ago. Even after all those years I saw him often while eating breakfast at the Omelette house and each time we saw each other there was a nod or wink as I believe we shared a quiet friendship. He'll be missed. My prayers are with you all.
