I worked with Don since 1982 when I started at Hartwig Motors and then when it became Deery Brothers.I will miss his natural mechanical ability to fix things in his job as the dealership's janitor and general repair work that needed to be done at the dealerships. He also was good to talk to about life in general.

One of the kindest people I have ever met. He would always greet me with joke and I'd try to part ways giving him a joke in return. The type of person who would immediately recognize someone having a bad day and take an extra long break to make sure you're on your way to being ok. A man who truly loved people, there was never a short conversation, and it never ended without you walking away smiling and more often times laughing. My most sincere condolences to Don's family and friends

Sorry to hear of Donal's passing. We were longtime friends growing up in North Liberty area all through grade school and graduating West in 70. He always had a great smile and a chuckle that I so enjoyed. Have good memories of family. Enjoyed hunting area with Donal, Jamie and Leo. My heart goes out to your family, Jimmie Miller

My sympathy to the entire family. A very kind hearted man who would do anything for anybody. Very hard worker. Enjoyed working with him at both Hartwig Motors and Deery Bothers for many years.You will be missed " Disco "
