I'm sorry for your loss. I met Don while at Zaug's, then at the Kwik Trip I worked at, close to his home. He'd stop in to say "Hi" and get his paper. He will be missed. Carla Seefeldt

My thought and prayers are with the Don Weyenberg family. Many years ago I was a good friend of Jeff when I got the opportunity to meet Don. I enjoyed talking to Don and never had to wondering what he was thinking, I knew. Not a bad quality to have. Years later I moved to Hortonville and met Jay, a distant neighbor. During that time I several other opportunities to talk to Don. He always made me smile. Don, may you rest in peace know that you and Milly raised an amazing family.
