Funeral Director

Don belonged to Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Bloomington.  He was an avid NASCAR fan, motorcycle and classic car enthusiast.  He won several trophies at car shows with his 1950 Chevrolet, which he completely restored himself, and his 1949 restored Chevrolet, with which he won Best of Show at Clinton, the last show he attended.  They were his pride and joy, along with his family.  He will be missed.

 

After both retired, Don and Wanda spent their winters in Florida and made many friends there.
