Memorial services will be 11 a.m., Friday, September 5, 2008 at Lutheran Church of the Cross, 1701 8th Street SW, Altoona, Iowa. Visitation will be 6 to 8 p.m., Thursday, at the church. Donald was born in Des Moines and had lived in Indianola since 1978. He was a disabled veteran of the US Navy and a member of Iowa PVA and the American Legion. He enjoyed building things and was good with mechanical things.

He will be missed by his loving wife of 36 years, Mary; daughters, Kim (Paul) Schem, Cindy Mosier, Mona (John) Vaydik, Lori (Michael, Sr.) Harmison and Carrie (Steve) Heidebrink; 3 sons, Jim (Valerie) Denning, Ronnie (Kim) Denning and Jeff (fiance, Julie Finn) Denning; 15 grandchildren; 4 great grandchildren; 2 brothers, Gary (Gail) Denning and Ray (Carol) Denning and sisters, Judy (Lou) Yacinich and Joyce Brown.

"D.R." was a MM1(SS), auxiliarymen, who repoerted to Archerfish (AGSS-311) from Remora (SS-487) on 11/9/1963. He transferred to ComSubRon ONE on 12/1/1966. I always looked forward to visiting with him at our Archerfish reunions, as he sure could tell neat sea stories. Sailor rest your oar... save me a rack in the alley!

Jeez! September 9? Talk about predicting the future (or in this case predicting the lack of a future....).

Bill - Glad you caught that. I was beginning to feel as though I'd slept too long - or - missed a few days!
