My uncle Don, was who an uncle should be. He was there to teach me various things and show me his world. I will always remember the things that he taught me in his shop. Life lessons are more valuable than gold. Thank you Uncle Don.

Donny Schwister !!!!! Knowing Donny was like growing up with an AMERICAN HERO ....
Family man, husband, community leader and business man , Donny taught all of us to live with dignity and treat all like you would like to be treated !!!!! His greatest gift in life was the lessons we all learned from him. So often he would look at you and say " what do you think ", all well knowing he was just teaching us to think , have an opinion and be able to make a decision , we all knew he already had the answer. Dedication to family, community and business were just hallmarks of success for this American Hero. Loving wife , devoted kids , community leader and successful business man only begin to tell of all the success's he had. Yet never once was it about Donny , it was always about all those people around him that he loved and in turn loved this wonderful man . Donny was the man for all seasons !!!!! Rich or poor , young or old , family or not , Donny treated everyone like you would like to be treated. We will all miss Donny , but the world and it's people are all better off because of this American Hero !!!
Best to all ,

What an amazing video ❤️ Being Don’s secretary for the past 25 years was a true blessing. He treated me like family and I will always remember his kindness. He spoke often about how proud he was of all his kids. He had the biggest smile when Jill graduated from college. He was proud that he could put all 4 kids through college. He was truly one of a kind and I will miss him terribly. I will be with you all Friday and Saturday with my thoughts and prayers. With sympathy, Nancy
