Don was a great friend. We served in VietNam the same time. Whenever we saw each other, we could tell alot of stories, of our VietNam experiences. Don was always a friend you couldn't forget. I will always remember our friendship. SKIP MCMAHILL Galesburg

Dearest Marg and Dawn: You both are in my heart; thoughts; and prayers. Donnie was such a joy to be around. He had a wonderful sense of humor and lived passionately. He will be greatly missed and I know when we are all together again he will have a lot to tell us; it will be a really great family reunion. Love you both very much. Vallie

I worked in the office at Maytag. We loved to joke with Don and we will all miss him as Santa; walking around the plant and office before our holiday vacation passing out candy canes in his Santa suit. Good times and great memories. Sure he is cracking jokes in Heaven. Prayers to his family and many friends.
