Don passed peacefully from this world, just days short of his 43rd wedding anniversary.

Don will be remembered for his contributions to the scaffolding industry as he taught and passed on "his trade" to many individuals.
He will also be remembered as someone who always had a project; be it a house or office to build or remodel, or an old car to tinker with.
Sadly, Don was preceded in death by his parents, all his siblings and two sons, Ron and Lon.

He is survived by his loving wife Jeanine, estranged son Don, daughter Donna (Mike), son Dale (Rochelle) and daughter Sherry. He is also survived by nephews Mike (Kathy) and Mitch, who were like sons to him. He leaves behind 18 grandchildren, a whole multitude of great grandchildren, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

A visitation will begin 10am, followed by a funeral service at 11am, both on Friday, Jan. 2, 2015 at Habing Family Funeral Home, Gilroy. Burial to follow at Mt. Hope Memorial Park, Morgan Hill.
