I had the privilege of knowing and working with Don for many years. In
addition to having a real passion for child welfare, he always had a big smile
and words of encouragement for everyone. Don always had a great fishing or
hunting story to tell - some of which were greatly exaggerated but
nonetheless entertaining! A great guy I am proud to have known and I know
he will be greatly missed.

We will always remember Don's friendly face and helpful attitude when we shopped
Ace Hardware. He always shared his great love for Anthony and Nick and how
he was so blessed. He was happy and seemed content at living each day.
We know how hard it is to say "Good-bye" here on earth, but have such
faith in what waits for us in heaven.
We are thinking about you all during this time.
love, Don and Clixie

The memories that never fade
A cherished life that this man made
With such a loving family
As blessed as any man could be
My deepest sympathies go out to the family, especially Joanne whom I remember
working at the high school in the years I was a classmate of my friend Kellie. I
never knew your Dad Kellie, but knowing the kind of person you and your Mom are
I am sure he was a wonderful man. Try to remember all the love and strength he
brought to your lives as he now makes a home with Jesus Christ.

When I was a young and single mother, Don took a chance and hired me as a
temporary worker in his office. That temporary job later became a full
time position giving me an opportunity to not only better my life but the lives
of others as well. Consequently, I am still working in the public service
sector today nearly 35 years later. Don's dedication to his profession and
his words of encouragement to me will forever be etched in my memory. I
feel very blessed having known Don and certainly appreciative of the
encouragement and confidence he extended to me.
My sincere condolences to his family for your loss and may the fond memories you
hold so dear sustain you through your grief.

Don was such a special friend, it's hard to say goodbye. Our winters in
Sunscape just won't be the same without his humor and leadership. Yes, his
sweet potato pancakes will be missed too.

I had the pleasure of meeting Don about eight years ago through Post Falls High
School athletics. Don was very proud of his grandsons and it showed.
We met again last summer (if memory serves) while he was working at Ranch &
Home in Post Falls. Don came over to assist me with a question I had, I
was wearing a T-shirt with Eastern Oregon University Logo on the front and he
asked if I had gone to school there. I said no, it was a gift from my son
Robert who went to PFHS with Anthony & Nick and is currently enrolled at EOU.
Don said he went to school there many years ago and had fond memories. He
asked how my son was doing and was genuinely interested in his well being, we
then discussed his family and he tells me that Nick was leaving for Nashville
soon and how much he was going to miss his fishin buddy. I very much
enjoyed that short visit with Don. He will be missed.

No words can express how much I depended on and appreciated my "cub
reporter." He was not only a great writer, but a good friend
and adviser. We at the park will miss Don and the sage advice of "Sunscaper
Sunny."

I was suprised to hear of Don's passing. I just remember him as a very

I'm sure you will miss him--- but our time here on earth is just a pinprick

We are saddened to learn about Don's passing and know that he will be missed by
all that knew him. He was such a caring person who was full of life and
enjoyed so much of it. Don was a great teacher, was so practical and
supportive in his work and his love of family was so clear to all.
We had the benefit of Don's knowledge and experience as part of his Social
Services staff. He was always interested in making a difference and he
helped shape the careers of many.
We know his family will carry forever the love of this special person and know
that he will remain with them in spirit and in all that they do.
Our condolences to Don's Family

Joanne and Family;
I just learned of Don's passing. We worked together for many years, most
of which, he was my supervisor and friend. I am so grateful to have had
Don in my life. His counsel, support, kindness, and friendship will be
cherished forever. On the wall in front of my desk is a list of the eleven
most important men in my life. Don is on that list. Thank you for sharing
him.
