Many fond memories of growing up with Uncle Don. My thoughts are with all of you at this sad time.
Tears. Peace. Rest. Strength. Comfort. Calm. All things in your own time. All my love, Linda (Eblacker) Geer
Your strength will see you through.
Much love 💜
Dears,
With much thoughts and prayers to the entire family, we shall celebrate Don’s wonderful life and his everlasting legacy and fine memories in our hearts.
At this time of grieving, I offer everyone Rumi’s profound quote:
DEATH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GOING AWAY. THE SUN SETS, THE MOON SETS. BUT THEY ARE NOT GOINE.
With Love, Ray Marhamati & family
Deb, Donna and family,
I didn’t know your father well but I know he an amazing man. I remember being at a party with Deb, at a friends house, when Don’s name was brought up. Deb asked everyone (about 15 people) who was friends with him on Facebook and every hand in the room went up! We all had a good laugh because it appeared he was checking up on us. You and your family are in my thought and prayers.
Sorry to hear of Don`s Passing. I live in Unionville Station and always enjoyed talking with Don and Sue. Praying for your family during this time of your loss.
Sincerely,
Tim
Love,
Sharon and Mike
Donna and Deb, I found out this week about Don’s passing from the Village of Hilton’s office staff, people Don use to work with when he served on the Village’s Planning Board. He helped plan our Senior housing development and as Bob Snyder mentions, then going there to live for awhile. Don loved our village, having car pooled with him for 3 years to Kodak, one gets to know one another. A very active member of Rotary he helped bring about with Sue many positive assets to our community and beyond. I especially enjoyed our group conversations at the family diner, us “retired old men eating out”, or as previously mentioned ROMEO’s, just one of the groups he went out with. A framed photo still hangs in the restaurant of us, it will never be the same. Don always kept track of our birthdays and made sure a card was made available. The last time I visited him at the villages for lunch, he mentioned that his food/booze monthly allowance was under, so I should order 2 or 3 beers , and take one home, what are friends for…… Your old neighbors, sorry for your loss.

Remembering you.
Was justing thinking about Don, today, as I would often check to see how is was doing after Sue, passed away. He was a blessing to have as a family member. Always had a kind heart. Psalms 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saints. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. Now with Jesus. Amen!
