Prayers and positive thoughts for Dons family as you navigate the roads of Dons passing onto his eternal home.

When one speaks of leaving the world a better place than when you found it, we think of you, Don. When I recently heard the St. Francis of Assisi prayer, you came to mind. As an instrument of peace, you sowed love of your beautiful Paula, children Wes, Mitch, and Madeline, family, friends, and acquaintances. You brought light into a room and your laugh was contagious. You brought joy to others, understanding and knowledge of so many things. You consoled, gave of your time and friendship, understood much, and it is in your passing that so many of us feel your loss very deeply to where you will forever remain in our hearts. We grieve when the loss is so great it takes a lifetime for our hearts to mend. May the heavens be brightened and more comfortable by all the man glitter you are creating. You got there a little sooner than we have. Thanks for saving a place for us.

We met Don at Emily Blozinski Bowden’s wedding in October 2021. He officiated my niece Emily and her husband Ed’s wedding. Even though our meeting was brief as we witnessed the wedding of Emily and Ed, Don touched our hearts and left an impression of a man committed to doing whatever it takes to fulfill other people’s joy and happiness. Truly a man living life for others. Peace to all of Don’s family.

So sorry to hear of Don’s passing. It was a shock to all fellow BCI employees I’ve talked to. He will be missed.

I am so sorry to see this.
I haven't spoken to Don in years. He was a great college friend at Stout to many. Back then he was exactly as described above. A barrel of fun and a listening ear.
Paula, my deepest sympathy. I too, have married my best friend. I can't imagine what you and your children are going through.
I know you have many precious memories to give you smiles. His spirit continues in your children and in your heart.
Peace to you.
Jane
