      Don was a lifelong resident of Callaway County. He served in the Army Air-corps during WWII as a cryptographer and was a postal carrier in Fulton for nearly 30 years. He was an avid gardener, loved nature and being outdoors. A fitness enthusiast, he was a Missouri state weightlifting champion as well as international champion in the senior division. Open-minded and conversational, Don could see the other side of things, and was quick with a word or quote from Shakespeare, Franklin or Will Rogers. He taught anyone interested to play chess.

      A Memorial will be held Sunday, September 26th from 1 pm until 4 pm at Central Christian Church in Fulton. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to Clois Wickell or Hospice Compassus c/o Debo Funeral Home, 833 Court Street, PO Box 818, Fulton, MO 65251.
