Dear Margie and Niznik Families:
       Our deepest and sincere sympathy in the sudden loss of your father and grandfather, Don.
       Although we are not physically with you today, please know that Chuck & I hold you all in our thoughts during this difficult time.  We will always have our warm memories of the times we spent together with Don, Cindy and you all, as we were warmly welcomed at family gatherings,  
       One such happy event being Don's 70th birthday celebration, when both Don & Chuck played Don's accordian and discovered how "rusty" they both were. 
        That evening and other thoughtful acts of inclusion meant so much to us and will be forever fondly remembered in our hearts.
        Know that these words are filled with caring thoughts and we hope that you  all may find comfort, peace and strength in the days ahead with the love of family and friends which surrounds you.
         Love to all, Linda & Chuck Poole  

My apologies, I am unable to attend Don's service this morning as I had planned due to an unexpected guest from out of town.  Don and I were Skat club friends and shared the occasional ride.  He was always kind, generous, and a good player of the game.  

I know he was delighted with his kids and grandkids.  He spoke of you often.  May God bless and keep you all in this time of transition.  I say transition and not loss because as in physics nothing is really ever lost, just transformed.  So too, Don isn't lost but  transformed.  In my tradition we say he's been given his Crown of Life.    So this really is the celebration of his funeral mass! 

If I may be of assistance to you, feel free to call on me.

Great husband,Father,Grand Father,and Great Friend. You will be missed by many and never forgotten. Our bowling  games were fun at Mahall’s . We shared many memories and laughs. RIP Give Cindy a hug from us. 🙏🙏❤️🌹

I only knew Don from playing Skat with him in Omaha and Cleveland. He was always a quiet, thoughtful and gentle man at the table, playing the cards he was dealt as best he could. I will miss him.

Don, you were a trusted friend and confidant. As a man of few words your wheels were always turning. I will miss your council, however you are now home with the Father and Cindy too. Gods speed to heaven, your friend Randy Nix

This photo was taken from last year's (2021) Christmas party held by the Catholic Order of Foresters.  I will always remember Don as being most happy when he was with his COF friends and, most of all, his family.

To all  of you Wonerful Niznik children,  and your families,  I am so very sorry for the loss of your dad, Like my dad your father put 8 pairs of shoes on 8 children's feet every single year....can you even imagine the expense of raising 8 children...Your father was a hard worker and taught you all a great work ethic..... I miss your mom she was my friend, your dad will be missed too, I am thankful we know your mom, Donny and your dad are home together with Jesus, I will always keep you in my.prayers, I watched you grow up and even worked with several of you. You are great people.....I love all of you... I'm praying for The Lord to comfort you,  your friend Laura Beattie
