To Don /Dad  : 
There are No Words in the dictionary that Define who you Truly Were ...There are though So Many Examples of your Just Being "THERENESS " quality  for who ever needed your knowledge ,expertize,  and just never "LETDOWNESS"  for those of us who were Honored and lucky to  KNOW YOU!  Right until the end you were more concerned about making sure those in your  immediate realm were taken care of  even though you were dealing with so many of your own health  issues, to me   that Defines a True Humanitarian and Unbelievable Unselfishness  that is beyond my comprehension and I EXPERIENCED IT FIRST HAND !  My only relief  is that you did do it "YOUR WAY"  right until the end, you Lived Your Life, No Complaints No Why Me ,  you  did what you wanted  to, ate what you enjoyed, finally got your Camaro  and still did so many things that a Mere  Normal Mortal  would NEVER be able to Accomplish especially in your weakened condition !  you were TRULY one Heck of a Man and i 
MISS YOU TERRIBLY !!!   ... If there is a Heaven, i hope you are finally enjoying things there that you denied yourself while you were here on Earth...Forever Grateful  to the REAL FATHER in my life !

Your Loving Son
Mark A Schulte

Dear Sandy & Mark and Family,
  I am so sorry for your loss. Don was a wonderful person who would go out of his way to help anyone who asked.  I will remember him fondly.  Prayers of peace to you all.  
Love~  Kris Shofner  

Don was a great guy going back many years.  Working on our antique vehicles with Keith at the Cab Company.  We had a lot of laughs.  He gave Sandy and Mark years of love and happiness.  His memories will always be with us.  Rest if Peace.

Love, Jim and Kathy Tallman

Don was the big brother I never had. He knew my place in life was not South Buffalo.  Don inspired me to get my degree and was supportive when I left Buffalo. While our paths in life separated decades ago,  I was lucky to sit down with him a couple of years ago.  His last comment to me he was about to retire from a parts store on Transit Rd, but in a couple of weeks planned to apply for a job at another NAPA store on Harris Hill Rd. That was Don!!!   To the memory of the SUMMER OF 1976.   Greg W. Smentek.                                                    Atlanta, Georgia


Don was a great guy. Work with him at Napa Lancaster for ten years. Was great with all the customers. Will miss him. Sorry for you loss

I worked with Don for many years, but as often happens he retired and we lost touch. He was a great guy and a hard worker. Our condolences to his family.
