Sorry to learn of Don's passing.
Harlem classmate and fellow member of football team.

So sorry to hear of your loss-
keep his picture near so you can hear his thoughts and remember all that you shared together.  Hold your family close to help each other thru the transition.  Call on friends when you need strength and a friendly word.

I can not express how saddened Dad and I were to hear of Don's passing.  Sometimes as much as we care and love those we are closest to- god still has another plan.   
Please know you are never alone...

Desi and Stan Reese

JoAnn and family,
Please accept my condolences on your loss of Don. One of the highlights of my children's (Jeff, Jennifer and Jill) day was running out to the mailbox to get the mail for Don after he was injured. Each wanted to help out knowing Don would be there at the door waiting for them with a candy treat for retrieving the mail! A great memory for all of us. 
With caring thoughts,
Victoria Nowakowski

Joan & Family:
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  We have lost a special friend. Don has moved on to a greater place in Heaven.  We will miss him very much.

Church will not be the same without Don. I am so grateful to have seen him on Christmas Eve. I will always remember his kindness and sweet demeanor, he was a really really great guy who will be dearly missed. All my love to the Roush family during this very sad time.

Mr. Roush... I didn't get to see you anymore after I moved out of Rockford, but I am grateful that I got to get a hug from you two years ago at my Daddy's wake.  I always remember that sweet, sweet smile on your face! May you rest in peace now. Thanks for being a wonderful memory in my life! See you and My Daddy some day in heaven!  Love you, Enza
