So sorry to hear about Uncle Don. Sending big hugs to Aunt Jean, Angie, Mary and the rest of the family. It’s been many years but I still remember Don’s laugh. When I think of Don, it brings warm memories of him and my dad fishing. I bet they’re both at it now. With a deck of cards close by.
I’m sorry for your loss, I wish I could be there.
Love, Becky (Putzier) Johnson

So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Don was always so much fun to be around, always a laugh. May he R.I.P. Love Tom & Lanita
My heart is hurting for Jeannie, Angie, and Mary Kay & her family. Don was not only my brother-in-law, he was also a very good friend.
I will fondly remember him as always having something going on his grill, the BBQ King. (and fishing!)
Miss you much. Rest in peace. Share a drink with my Jimbo.
Stay happy my friend. See you on the other side.
Love you more!
Maggie Putzier Conover
We will miss you so much! We pray for your family to continue to flourish. May you rest in peace, brother.
I’m sorry to hear about Don. I didn’t know that he was suffering from this bad disease. I’m out of town so I won’t be able to attend, but my deepest sympathies to Don family.
We are so sorry for your loss.
Steve & Sheryl January
I am so sorry to hear the passing Don. He will be missed by many. He always would put a smile on my face when I would be so lucky to take care of him. As I told him many times he was my all time favorite Patient to care for. Don will be missed.
So very sorry for your loss. He will forever be missed by many. He's now swapping fishing stories and playing cards with whoever will listen, especially his dear friend Hanney.
