Donald was a salesman for Zimmerman Honda for 25 years.  He attended First Congregational Church – UCC, Moline.

Although, Don loved the beaches of Florida, his love of cars and people gave him many wonderful memories.  His love of the river took him and Mary on many trips to McGregor, Iowa, LaCrosse, Wisc. and Stillwater, Minn.  Don enjoyed spending time with his family and his Alleman classmates.  He loved going to flea markets with the Browns, Stacey and his wife, Mary. 

A special thank you to Cammie and Makenna for bringing such joy to his life.  They gave so much love and so many hugs.  Dr. Constantino and his staff were a blessing and a safe haven for Don to have hope.  We thank them.
