Don’s quick wit and mediator skills always made for an interesting conversation with him.
His many volunteer hours to local projects will be missed by the Cedar Lake and Star Prairie area as he was involved in many and he put a lot of time into getting the job done.
He will be missed by all that ever meet him.
Uncle Don, you were always so welcoming and invited family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers to your home so you could entertain and cook for them. We will miss your Fourth of July parties and our annual New Year’s Eve fondue parties. We are so very grateful for the time we had with you. May you rest in peace with Grandpa Don in heaven and know that you were loved and will be greatly missed.
