To the Don Jiardine family.Just a few thoughts from Tom Oldani. Don started to hang around with my younger brother Mickey (Mike) when they were in Jr High School. I can still remember how out of control that whole teenage group was. Don, Mickey, Benny, Nello, Timmy, Ron, George & Joey. All of those names listed had Italian names, except George. With that said, all of them grew up to be good men. Don was an excellent son, hard worker, a fighter for his life, and if he was your friend you were very special to him.Sorry to being writing this today because Don was way to young to be passing.Love and prayers from Tom & Louise Oldani.

The ones we've lost are found in our memories. Don was always so nice and a lot of fun. The happiest day for Don was receiving the car award presented by Nello and the Heiring's. He surely will be missed by all of us. With Sympathy, Joyce & Ozzie Sorensen
