Condolence: Don was so full of life - happy to have survived cancer, grateful for every day he had cancer free. I'm so sorry the cancer came back elsewhere! It's a complete shock. I had no idea he was ill again. At least he does not have to suffer any longer. I am grateful for every day that Don had. If anything needed fixing, Don could fix it. He was so proud of making my little wagons better than the manufacturer. He had the magic touch to start an old tractor. He could build fences and dig fence holes and he was the best neighbor anybody could dream of having, always happy to help out, any way that he could. He is very much missed, and deeply appreciated. Elaine, if there is anything you need, including musician for memorial service, please do let me know.

Condolence: Dear Elaine and the Piantanida family, I would like to express my deeepest sympathies. Don was such a wonderful man. I loved visiting him and Elaine in Florida - they were the BEST hosts!!!! May he rest in peace. Elaine please let me or my sister Karen know if there is ANYTHING we can do. Our deepest sympathy, Kim and Karen
