To all of my extended family in Michigan and especially to Tammy and Cindy, Gayle and I want to express our heartfelt condolences at your lost. There is simply no good time to be separated from those you love but it is especially painful when that loss is without warning or anticipation. Love one another every day as if it were your last... God bless you in this time. Our prayers are with you.

I express my sympathy to the family. Don will be truly missed. During my first years as Treasurer of Lee Township it was Dan Maxwell and his staff which was most helpful to me during the tax collection season. I have always enjoyed the assistance offered by Don and the stories of his travels. Peace be with you.

Tammy, Cindy & Family, Don was of a dearest friend to our family and shall always be remembered as so in our hearts. From my very first horse-ride as a young child, passing him on his new fangled bi-cycle,Township advice,a visit to admire my new peach orchard while sharing his respect for bringing historical fruit back to Casco and to his ultimate trust with his auto and tractor repair needs I have grown up with admiration for his character and free-will giving of his wisdom. May your faith be kept close during this sorrowful time and let us all overcome our sadness so that we may not feel so much the loss, but cherish the wonderful memories.In Gods faith, Allan & Dawn Ridley.

My condolences to the family. I'm glad I had the privilege to get acquainted with Don during our time on the South Haven Schools Facilities Committee. He was a straight-shooter and deep thinker who always lent a new perspective to discussions. His contributions are many and he will be missed by all who came in contact with him.

Dear Tammy and Cindy, Our prayers and love are with you at this time of sorrow. I always looked forward to his visits to Oklahoma and our trips to the Tulsa State Fair. He is a one of a kind guy with a wonderful family. There are no words to discribe the loss of a man like this, but know this, "He will never be forgotten". Bonnie & Randy Hale Bonnie

To the Mazwell Family. I was very sorry to hear about Don. My sympathy and prayers are with you. What a wonderful person he was. He served his community and the citizens he represented very well as an elected official and was well respected by all. I know how much he enjoyes his family, grandchildren, and in the last several years his horses and cycle. He never had a bad word to say about anyone. And always wanted to make his community better. He will be missed by everyone in local goverment, as well as all of us his friends who enjoyed working with him so much. Patty

We at the Township will miss Don, he came to our Township Hall almost every Tue. He had his own set up (office). He would get a roll at 9:00 a.m. but by 11:00 a.m. he still had only been able to take a bite or two out of it. He would help any of us with any thing he could from our miss behaving computors to a address for someone. He always had his Cowboy boots and his Cowboy hat. He told us of many enjoyable storys of his family trips!!!! We will miss him. Bless the Family.

My sincere condolemces to Don's family. Don was a fellow Supervisor, Assessor and Republican. I will remember his leadership in the Allegan MTA chapter and Assesor's Association. He served as a mentor to many in the Allegan County public service for many years.

To Don's Family--I am so sorry for your loss--and it is a great loss. Don was always a kind man. He printed my tax bills for almost 25 years. He was very patient and easy to go to with questions. He was very proud of his family and often mentioned them to me--what he was planning w/ grandchildren or his kids. He will be missed very much and remembered fondly always. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Pat Reuschel, Overisel Twp Treas.
