Evangelistic Center. Don proudly served his country
in the United States Army. He was a truck driver for
many years. He was a jack of all trades and used his
handyman skills to help others. He hand made
equipment for the Special Education Department at
District 27; was always willing to help his family
with projects, and was always caring and giving. He
was a special man, and he will be missed by all who
