Sorry for your loss Nick. Praying for you and your family.
Dear Betty, I was so very sorry to learn on Don’s passing. He was quite guy and had a great sense of humor and the most beautiful smile. How lucky to have had him in your life for so long. Know that I’m thinking of you at this difficult time, it isn’t easy, but know your family will be there for you. With my sincere sympathy, Annamae Baker
Firstly, the entire Donald I. Krumm Family would like to send our thoughts and prayers to Betty and the rest of Don’s family and friends. Your Don was our Don’s cousin. My personal memory of your Don was his coming into the DX gas station in MV when I was a kid working there. We both enjoyed joking around for a few moments, eating peanuts,candy and soda. My Don is in a nursing home in Marshalltown and is 93 years old now. The body is wearing out but his mind is as sharp as ever. Take care and God Bless you.
