Condolences and prayers to the Schanker family.  I worked with Don at Getz Pharmacy for many years.  I have many fond memories of that time.  Don always had a big smile and a corny joke to share.  

We are so sorry to hear about Don. I moved across the street from Don and Barbara as a single girl in 2008, and, Barbara was so kind to me, showing me the ropes of the neighborhood. Don was always a cheerful face to run into. Our good friend Bill Hawver always told us how he appreciated Don going above and beyond to help him with medicine for Mrs. Hawver was she was sick. We all considered ourselves lucky to be your neighbors. Please accept our deepest condolences… Virginia Phillips + family

I met Don at the Pharmacy Board gathering for new pharmacists.  He was the easiest person to get along with , and to talk too as he was the president of the Pharmacy board twice.  He always had a smile and a hello.  He will be missed.
