John Uscian wrote a sympathy message

“I remember when i was about five years old and both my cousin Donnie and I were finding the old, weathered, lower jaw bones of cows (perhaps calves?) in the peripheral regions of the junkyard on our Uncle Frank's farm near Gilberts, Illinois. Donnie said that they were from wild boars. And I am sure he sincerely believed they were. I thought it was very exciting to be finding these wild boar remains (though then I had no idea what a wild boar is). Many other great memories. RIP, Donnie.”

Jan Frank wrote a sympathy message

“Don & I met in 1973 at Maine South HS in Park Ridge as Freshmen classmates in Mr. Johnson's Geography class. Never at a loss for words, I admired his quick-witted humor, happy go-lucky personallity & positive outlook. We had so many common interests, shared opinions & not being part of the "In-crowd" in school, we were destined to have a life-long, treasured friendship. Through the good times & bad, he always had my back & I had his. Until heaven reunites us again, he will be sorely missed!!!”

Steve B wrote a sympathy message

“Don was the consummate Renaissance Man. Always quick with a suggestion or a helping hand! He knew a lot about a lot and was willing to share! My lawn mower not starting? Don graciously takes the carb to shop and has it cleaned for me. My son’s Eagle Scout project at a standstill? Don spends an hour with Billy brainstorming possible solutions at a variety of different levels of complexity. Questions around a fire about opening sequence on The Rifleman? You get the idea!!! RIP Don M.”

“We have many fond memories of good times with Don and family when the boys were growing up. More recently, whenever we would run into him around town he spoke of both of you, Alex and Stephen. He was proud of and loved his sons!!! Sending our sincere condolences--Lori Perez and family.”

Karen Finn wrote a sympathy message

“Don had a story for everything!! His stories about hunting and fishing and dogs, reminded me of my father. He adored his sons and talked about them with such pride. We had many fun years together in the Field School V-show and his house hosted many fabulous themed parties. The year he dug a moat , classic. Wish prayers and condolences to his family. Karen Finn”

“I met Don a couple of years ago as a blind date but decided we were definitely more suited as friends. He was so proud of his sons. Couldn’t say enough about them and how great they were. He was so proud of them. He was definitely a character and a lot of fun. Sending hugs to his boys and know your Dad loved you most. So sorry for your loss.”
