I have waited to comment on the passing of my Uncle Don, we used to call him Nanno when we were small.  I remember Don from as far as I can remember, as an interesting guy, funny, kind, passionate, fierce, and tough all in one.  I always felt welcomed with Don.
 I had the pleasure of working along side him over the years, briefly as a brick tender, at Boeing in the production machine shop, and in Tooling.  We carpooled to Boeing in the 70's, where Iearned nearly every joke I know today.  
I always enjoyed watching him play and sing, I am sure that music carried him through some hard times.  I regret deeply not making the effort to take in more than I did, as he played regularly and invited me often. 
I am so happy to know that Don had found deep love with Sondra.  I am overjoyed to know that Nanno rests with Jesus.  I pray for the comfort of his family, especially Sondra, that her sorrow be replaced with the confidence and joy that Don is alive and well, hurting no more, I for one await our next meeting, I am sure it will be far better than anything that could be imagined.  
I love you Don, I know you are singing it purty.

I am so sorry to hear this, you were an amazing and funny man! I will always remember our crazy times and music sessions, I loved singing with you! I love you Uncle Don!

You will be greatly missed , you were a great Uncle to me and a very fine man . I will cherish the guitars I have of yours and will always keep you in my heart . Love you dearly Uncle Don xxx R.I.P

A very dear friend.  We will miss him.  Rest in peace Don.

You were an amazing step dad. I truly do love you for that & I miss that everyday. May you rest in peace.

So sorry to see Don pass, we were friends for over 55 years. No one will understand the fellings the Planeview guys and girls had for each other unless you lived there. RIP Donald

My thoughts and prayers are with you Sondra. so Sorry for your loss. God Bless you and your family.

You will be missed, I think of the old Planeview days and the things we did, if you didn't hang around at the drug store and have the friends we had you will never no what he meant to us. RIP

Jackie's memories are many over a lifetime of friendship; and our hearts are heavy with sorrow. We will view THE guitar with fondness and "Kansas City" will always be heard as only Don would do it (for me).

Sondra and family, 
We are so sorry for your loss. Don will be greatly missed by everyone, but especially by all of you. May he rest in peace. God bless. Love you

May you rest in peace.  I have always loved you and will miss you. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends.

I knew him for 60 years he was my hero rip don

Passing creates such sadness and loss for those left behind. Knowing that Uncle Don has passed over to eternal life, and is now reunited with those who went before him brings me much comfort in knowing the Klein family reunion in heaven now has a talented musician leading the band. Dad and Don together again, now that is a jam session I would love to witness. Love and strength to you Sondra, and a special Thank you for bringing such joy and happiness into his life.
