So many great memories coming for Thanksgiving Christmas and birthdays Uncle Don will be missed by all of us. Prayers
So many cherished memories of this great man. From taking me to the fair, to seeing Christmas lights, helping me with car issues and most importantly the time he came to the rescue when I was a little girl who decided to put my head thru the spindles of the staircase and had my head stuck. He tried everything to get me out and eventually had to remove the spindle to set me free. You’ll be missed. You were an amazing man and I loved you dearly ❤

To the Zimmerman family: Please accept my sincere condolences and deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear loved one. Death is such a tragedy for all comfort of us, and when it touches us personally, it’s sometimes difficult to find the comfort that we search for. Our loving Heavenly Father Jehovah, who is the the God of all comfort, feels empathy for those who have lost a loved one in death, and therefore promises to swallow up death forever and eliminate all pain and suffering. (Please read Revelation 21:4 and Isaiah 25:8) As you read the above texts in your Bible, may they give you hope and comfort during this most difficult time. Again, my deepest sympathy. David Cowles
Don I think of you often my friend. I know you are in a better place where we will meet again someday Larry
