Crestview Hills - Donald J. Whittle, 86, of Crestview Hills, passed away on Saturday, December 28, 2019 at his residence. He was a retired manager for Cincinnati Bell. Don served our country in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He was a member of the HAB Club. Don was an avid UK Wildcat, Cincinnati Bengals and Notre Dame Fighting Irish Fan. However, his greatest love was his family. Don was devoted to his wife, 8 children and his many grandchildren.

Don was always bragging about his grand and great grandchildren and too often said "there's not an ugly one in the bunch!" He was preceded in death by his granddaughter Elana Brophy. Visitation is Friday, January 3, 2020 at 8:30AM until the hour of Mass of Christian Burial at 10:00AM at Blessed Sacrament Church, 2409 Dixie Highway, Ft. Mitchell, KY.

Don was always a friendly face to see in line at Panera! Tuesdays and Fridays. Coming in to get lunch and a chocolate chip cookie. Fun to joke with about his teams or talk to for a few minutes. Just a sweetheart of a man.
