To Don's family we send our sympathy. We have many fond memories of Don as we know you do as well. He was a prankster and loved to make people laugh. He was a good neighbor and friend. We visited him at Maple Manor and know he had many visits with Irene when they both were there. Our condolences to the family. John and Jo Lawrence of Fargo

I just had a pickle for lunch, and while it was OK, it was nothing like the super-duper pickles Don made.
Don is an example to me of how to make fun out of your life; how to enjoy the moments as in child's wonder; and how to be good citizen and neighbor by taking an active role in the community and being kind and generous to all.
Silly sometimes, prankster at best - Don could make me laugh forever. Never a dull moment on his mind, I'm sure. Fun memories include my times with Liz Anne, Don and Geneva writing lyrics for political tunes; jumping off the roof into snow banks; making gingerbread cookie houses on the kitchen floor; packing sheep s*** to be sold as fertilizer pellets through Better Homes & Gardens ads; and so much more.
Generous acts of kindness were also characteristic of Don. Personally, he offered so much to help make me feel comfortable after I became quadriplegic from jokes to arranging transportation and maneuvering accessibility issues in Langdon.
Best of all, he produced a daughter, Liz Anne, that has been for me a life long source of amusement, support and friendship.
Don will always be in our hearts.

I hereby convey my sympathy upon the loss of Don. I hold fond memories of babysitting Pat when he was a baby during the occasional times Don and Geneva went out. When visiting in Langdon years later it was always a pleasure if my husband and I enocuntered Don, always recalling me and delightfully friendly to visit with.

The Quam Family:
Don was a good man that I looked up to when I was young. Having grown up in the condos, Don was always tinkering with something, usually one of his cars! He was always quick to joke with me and was never afraid to share with me if I was doing something silly. When I saw him last fall, he still had that wit about him and was full of smiles.
Our thoughts and prayers are with.

We have many fond memories of Don, Geneva and the family. I remember the times when "Klub" was in mass production next door. Less fragrant than the pickle thing, but very tasty.
Our sympathy to you all.

So sorry to hear of your dad's passing, as well as your mom's. It's painful to say good-bye to our parents, and to lose those links in the family chain. I pray you are all finding peace. I can still remember the devastation your family endured with the loss of Sara...trust that she is reunited with your mom and dad, and they're waiting patiently for you when your time arrives. In His Love, LaVonne (Fischer) Malone.
