We were sad to hear of the passing of Don. We were all students at MTU. Don and Ron had great times working together at the radio station (WMTU). Who could forget Don’s infamous MTU ballad? Don was kind and jovial, a good person and someone you were always happy to see. Deepest condolences to the family.
We are so saddened by the news of Don’s passing. He is making the angels laugh for sure! You are all in our thoughts and sending much love.
Hearing this sad news has been devastating, to say the least ,to our family. Don was part of our life growing up. We spent summers in Michigan. and many happy times together. When Jennifer became his wife and they welcomed their beautiful daughters Isabel and Sophia, we enjoyed having them join us at so many of our family celebrations. Don was always smiling, happy and such a kind gentle soul. We mourn his loss and send our deepest love and affection to his family. Norene Caruso and all your Caruso cousins who love you dearly and will miss you so very much XO
