I'm sorry to hear about the passing of Uncle Don. I hope the end was peaceful and pain free. I'm sure that he's now at rest and in the company of so many friends and relatives that fell asleep before him.

Please know that all of you, especially Auntie Donna are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I hope you find peace in knowing what a wonderful guy Uncle Don was and how many very happy childhood memories I have of visiting all of you in St. Louis and seeing your family during your many frequent visits to Chicago.

I hate that it takes sad times such as this to bring families back together and talk about what they mean to each other, but it a way it reminds us that as long as we have happy memories of our loved ones, they never really die...they'll always be alive in our hearts.

Love you all!

Don will be missed by all that knew him. He taught me and many others how to live our lives, with integrity and strong Christian values. He always kept his family first. The Nieblings will have Donna and her family in our prayers.

Love you all very much!

We met Don through playing softball for his sponsored softball team. He loved to watch us play.He treated us like family and always welcomed us into his home. The Munger family will truly miss this gentleman as we will also. He was an inspiration to many. A family and a career to be proud of. Great job Don! Thanks for the fun and the memories you gave us. Our thoughts and prayers to Donna and the family.

I've always had the utmost respect for Don as a business person and employer. Through both his words and actions he demonstrated the value he had for relationships with customers, the principals his company represented, and his employees. Don will be missed though is legacy will continue.

Dear Munger Family,

Don was a true gentleman and the best person a new college engineer could ever hope to work under. He treated me and my family no differently than he treated his VPs - and that is to say - with empathy, friendship, and respect. On behalf of the entire Matteucci family - please accept our prayers and condolences. You are in our thoughts.

Best regards
Nick Matteucci

To the Munger family- "I thought that I would miss you so, and never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say "he's with you every day."
"The sun, the moon, the wind, the stars, will forever be around,
reminding you of the love you shared, and the peace he's finally found."

Rest in peace, Uncle Don
