Don was born August 26, 1938, in Bloomington, the
son of Delmar and Louise Hoye Hanes. He
married Wanda Hopwood on April 5, 1958, at St.
Patrick's Rectory in Lincoln.
Don is survived by his wife, Wanda; one son, Mark
(Cathy) Hanes of Hudson; one daughter, Penny (Steve)
Billington of Hubert, NC; five grandchildren: Amanda

great-grandchildren; and several cousins.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his only

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.
Memorials may be made to Mt. Hope-Funks Grove Fire
and Rescue Department in McLean.
Final arrangements are entrusted with Quiram-Peasley
