      The family would like to thank the doctors and staff at Froedtert Memorial Hospital, especially nurse Debbie K. for her tender loving care and smile, which made Don’s stay at the hospital something very special to him.
      You taught us joy, family, happiness, strength and fear. Showed us the way, helped us along, guided us through the years. Our hearts feel so empty, so alone, so afraid, without you in our lives, to show and point the way, with every pain, and problem with everything you had you helped us through our lives. We love you, Thank you Dad. From your children, Linda, Barb, Don, Judy, Joan, Tom. We’ll miss you.
