  1. We are so sad to hear about Don passing away. The kids will always remember him as Grandpa Don. He is the only Grandpa they have ever really known. We are truly thankful for all the memories our family has made together. We love you Linda and have been praying for you all. Let us know if there is anything we can do. Jodi, Greg, Abigail, Anna, Aaron and Adam.

  2. Laura and Linda- My wife Kathy and I met Don and Melva thru my parents Shirley and Wilbur Lewis. Mom sold real estate with Melva and they were in their travel group and lived just down the street. Don and Melva helped us build our house around the corner on Edgewood. I was also Melva’s veterinarian for her cats. Your dad spent a lot of time with our family at our lake cabin at Council Grove. He was always eager to help with a building project or just sit and regale us with a story or adventure. He always had a big hug and smile when he saw Kathy. I saw him often on walks and at our neighbor get togethers at Bob Parke’s house. We were all so glad when he connected with Barbara. I think she was what kept him going. He was a great friend and neighbor and we all will miss having him around. Gary Skinner

  3. May the care and love of those around you provide comfort and peace in the days ahead. Our sincere condolences for your loss. 🙏🏼 Brook Pallanez & Albert Barreda
