Condolences

  1. To Chris and family,
    So sad to hear about the loss of your father. I will always remember him for his big smile and great laugh. He was a great friend to my Grandpa (Robert Tarrant) and Mr Siegert . I have great memories of their camphouses during deer season. There were lots of story telling, good food, and plenty of beer. My brother Ken and I were fortunate to get to go with my Grandpa to Bryan on hunting trips and know Don. He is a large part of my early childhood to teenage years memories. Thanks for letting us know.
    Jim Tarrant, Jr

  2. to all my wager family: Donnie did always smile and seemed happy to be where the action was. There were plenty of good times, jokes and stories. “thousands and thousands”. It is not the end of his journey, of that I am certain! So when you hear, see, smell, touch something that reminds you of Donnie, my prayer for you all is to smile with fond memories. Love to my friends, my 2nd family
