In honor of my beloved father in law Don Gardner. You will be in our hearts and memories forever and your grandchildren will certainly know how amazing was sharing your life with us. We will see each other later and I will take care of our family. Your son in Law Alex.

The Warda family is thinking of you . Our deepest sympathies.

Don was a long time Golf Mate every July in Green Lake for over 30 years. Loved to share stories and yarns. Always made me laugh and forget about my worries. Had a different way of looking at things that made you think. He was a good man. Steve Kassner

Deepest sympathy to Allie and family. I only know Allie who served as an exceptionally effective organizer for Common Ground. Some Milwaukee people are indebted to her for her hard work and caring for the Sherman Park residential area. Doris Wallace, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

May something that is said, a memory that comes to mind, or friends and family surrounding you, bring comfort to your heavy heart. Prayers and respect to your family, Beverly Williams, GBIO

I had the great pleasure of knowing Donnie (aka Dandy Don) for 40+ plus years. We played a golf tournament in Wisconsin the third week in July for 35 years and Dandy always participated. His character was part of the fabric that made this event so special. Upon his arrival, Dandy would light up the room. I will miss but always remember his quit wit and uncanny ability to make us laugh. Donnie you will be physically missed but spiritually remembered for an eternity. I send my deep felt love and comfort to Cheryl and Allie. Rest In Peace Dandy until we meet again. Tomah Tommy Hedrich

Sending our sincere sympathy. J.D. and Sally (Nelson) Putnam, Knoxville, IL

Hi Allie, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. He sounded like a wonderful person, and a big influence in your life. I wish you, your mom, and extended family my condolences and prayers. Sue Giaimo

Donnie was my very first friend/playmate in our neighborhood. Our families were always close. His Dad's ribs were amazing and his Mom's popcorn balls she handed out at Halloween were fabulous. No wonder Donnie loved to cook and bake - he had excellent teachers! It was so wonderful to see him, give him a hug and meet Allie at the Knoxville/Gilson Half Hundred Club Reunion in June. Heaven has definitely welcomed home a wonderful man. I send my love, hugs and prayers to his loving family. Jane (Little) Attaway

He was a great friend to me Chuck Randall

What a wonderful person Dan E was. His sarcasm and sense of humor was unique. He will be missed by all of his friends. Sincerely, Roger Brannan Eack

We will miss his witty comments on Facebook that always made us smile. We were blessed to have his friendship.
