Don worked for my brothers and I after we purchased Communtator Foundry in the 1980s. I remember him fondly as a loyal and good hearted man. May he rest in peace.

My Dad is now with our Lord and has continued the" rejoining" of not just dad's family chain, but and eternal chain of saints, beginning with Jesus.  He now has unspeakable Joy and awaits each of earthly loved ones as God the Father calls us home. I am so thankful for Dad's devotion and love for his family. Always ready to give what he could, not judging and supportive.  I love you dad and we will take good care of mom.

Dear Stenson Family, 

My thoughts and prayers are with you. May fond memories carry you through this difficult time. It was a privilege to have known Don. He was very kind... a true gentleman.

Blessed be the life and memory of my uncle, Donald. With Marilyn and the boys, many fine memories at Lake Lida remain with us all. We, at times, drove him bonkers but he always got up the next day for coffee, calm and ready for the antics we would throw at him the next day.  The Paulson Family (Howard, Bruce, Mary, Wayne and Karen)

Dave, so sorry to hear about your father. My prayers are with you and your family!

My dad was the last of his immediate family living. We all love and will miss his presence. He had a calming effect on any situation, was a friend to everyone and had a genuine interest in people he knew well or just met. I have so many great memories of Him, I will leave you with one. He was a terrific golfer, one time playing 18 I had a 2 stroke lead with 3 holes to play. His competitive side came out walked a bounce in his step the last 3 holes. He birdied the last 3 holes at Majestic Oaks and beat me. That was the closet id come to winning a round. But as I think about it, I. Won the round as it was a pleasure to play with him.
