Condolences to all family and friends of Donald! I know that he will be missed.
I want to extend my deepest condolences to your family. As Psalms 90:10 says, he was truly blessed with strength to have lived such a long life. In your time of sorrow, may God comfort your hearts.
We extend our deepest sympathy to the Chopp family and their relatives and friends. I have many pleasant memories of Don as a work associate and friend for many years in the Data Processing Dept. of the Electro-Motive Div. of General Motors in LaGrange, IL. I will always remember him as a kind family man and an extremely well-organized and competent administrator and work associate.
