Uncle Don was the cool, fun uncle. My earliest recollection was his wedding to Aunt Jean. I remember all the Christmas' at Grandpa & Grandma Becker's. The evenings at my parent's house, the visits to his pool in Kenosha, the lazy days at Paddock Lake, and up north at Dairymen's. He always had a mechanical gadget of some sort, cool cars. He was a gracious host, made you feel welcomed and gave you a reason to smile. You will be missed. God Bless!

My heart goes out to your family. I did not know your love one. Please know that our heavenly Father Jehovah God will remember your love one, and he is the God of all comfort. The Bible says "throw your burdens upon Jehovah himself, and he will sustain you. (Psalm 55:22).
