I worked with Don years ago back in the 1980s and he was always pleasant, and nice to chat with in the office. I remember he had a great sense of humor and people were always at ease when he was there. Sorry for you loss. Janett Hines - Posted by: Janett Hines (Former Beatrice employee) on: Aug 09, 2018

This remembrance may be somewhat late as we had no idea Don had passed away. Needless to say we were shocked and saddened by the news. We have been friends since school days and spent many an evening playing cards etc at their home. We are especially sorry that we had no contact with Lizette during this time. Although we tried to call the phone No. was no longer in service. Please contact us via phone or e-mail with further information. Our thoughts and condolences are with you all. - Posted by: Reg & Shirley Romans (Friends) on: Jan 28, 2018

Sending my deepest sympathies to Mrs. How and the entire family. Mr. How had to put up with Darlene and myself in our teenage years back in the 70's. He would give me heck just like a dad. I have a lot of wonderful memories growing up in your home. RIP Mr. How and give Darbie a hug for me! - Posted by: Carrie Ozarko (friend) on: Sep 20, 2017
