Don was my favorite customer at the Ford dealer. The sweetest man. I was so sad to read his about his passing and I wanted to reach out to the family and say I'm sorry for your loss.

My condolences to the family. Don (and Nancy) were such an example of the Love of Christ when they were here at St. Paul, Mt. Prospect. They were people who made a difference.

I just wanted to express my condolences to you all. I was a baby-sitter for Mary Esther many years ago and have fond memories of your whole family. We lived on Juniper Lane, still do. Many changes since then. God bless your families.

Don was such a wonderful man. He was an all around amazing man who is going to be deeply missed. He has left behind a great family and should be proud of all he was here on Earth. He is safe at home in heaven and will continue to look over his loved ones, just from a different view now. I am blessed to say I knew him . Prayers and hugs at his family and friends for their loss. He was one of a kind

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Orrin, Debby, Jeffrey/Erin, Carissa/Matt, and the rest of the Huebner family members who will so dearly miss Donald. We knew he was a wonderful father and grandfather to many! We were lucky on many occasions to spend time with Don at various family functions and we all enjoyed conversing with him over the years. What a nice man who obviously led an exemplary, long life. May memories of him keep making everyone smile!
