Uncle Donald

I was woke up by a phone call early this morning from my cousin Candy. She had called to tell me her dad (my Uncle Donald) had passed away very early this morning. Donald was my mom's brother from Minot. His wife Loreen thinks it was a heart attack. He was 77. Donald (known as Don to those outside the family) was quite a character! It was his nature to complain about pretty much everything and that's just who he was. I know everyone will miss that now that he's gone. He was a super hard worker and still worked full time. He worked part time at KMart and part time driving the bus for seniors in Minot. He loved to garden and he didn't even go sell his produce at the farmer's market anymore-he had built up his customer base and they called him. He was a salesman most of his life and he was very good at it. My dad says he could sell ice to an Eskimo. Donald leaves behind his wife of 56+ years, two daughters, one son, five grandchildren, two brothers, and one sister.
