Don was such a great friend and often came to Wisconsin so we could enjoy his company. We had many adventures since I met him at GTE Muskegon in 1973, and I also worked with him in Fort Wayne, and Irving Texas. He was the best man at Cris and my wedding in Texas. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family as we miss him dearly. I have attached some pics and a video of Don as he has followed the Hovertoon project and enjoyed working on it with me and finally getting a ride on it in August of 2021.
Don will be missed,
Dick Schramer

My siblings and I would like to share condolences with Don's family. He was truly one of the good guys. We were neighbors growing up and I knew both he and Chuck very well.

I have fond memories of Don even though we lost track of each other many years ago. I did hear of his many accomplishments and civic involvement from time to time.

We are so sorry to hear of his passing.

Don was a great friend for many years. We met while working on Civic Opera Shows and continued to be a valued friend for over 60 years. He will be greatly missed.

My sincerest condolences on the loss of your family Don, of a good friend of mine also. Don & I shared a friendship since high school and many years of Civic Opera volunteering in many ways, including a current committee for our HS reunions. A beautiful man, and will be missed by myself and many others. Jan Basham
