He worked at Armour & Co. in Peoria, IL for 20 years, and worked from 1968-1992 at Caterpillar, Inc. when he retired after 25 years. Don had many loves in his lifetime, along with his wife, Nancy, his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and brothers and sisters, Don had his Pekinese, Hercules. I don't know of the two of them, which one loved the other one more. He was a hardcore Chicago Cubs Fan, watching them play up until God called him home. Don loved life and everyone around him; there was never a doubt in anyone's mind how much he loved and cared about each and every one of us. He also loved golf--if he wasn't golfing, he was out looking for golf balls in the early hours of the morning. A funeral service will be held at 10 AM on Thursday, September 20, 2007 at Deiters Funeral Home in Washington. The Rev. Bob Donaldson will officiate. Visitation will be held from 5-8 PM on Wednesday, September 19, 2007 at the funeral home, and the family asks that you wear your Chicago Cubs attire. Burial will be at Hillcrest Memory Gardens in Morton.
