Sweet bear Don with his pipe smoking. He was such a lovely cuddly man. He and my parents Al and Hazel LaRossa (now deceased) were best friends! Jackie and my Mom enjoyed many laughs together. My deepest sympathies to his children! My memories are so fond of him❤

Gerald Rack, friend of Don's for 82 years remembers these fun times:
1) Building model airplanes in Golena Street basement in 1938.
2)Roaming the woods at Pewaukee Lake with our 22's.
3)Staying overnight at my folks Pewaukee Late Cottage. Low on money, Don furnished our cold supper. Canned Pig's kuckles. UGH!
4) Car trips to Fon-du-Lac at night with Jackie and Betty for tomato soup
5)Overhauled engine on Don's Studebaker President. New rings and bearings. Cold winter weather. Fingers froze!
6)Fly fishing at lake at Don's deer camp.
7)Sitting on top of the dome of the Capital at Madison, WI. Scratching our initials in the concrete. JR (JarrRack). Lucky we were not arrested.
8)Golf at the Little River Inn, Mendocino CA.
9) Some memories of the Best Friend I ever had. Rest in peace old friend. Jerry

Many memories of Mr. Jarr float through my mind these past few days. A favorite is that he would mix up my name on purpose and call me "Sandy Debborn" and of course the smell of his pipe smoke. I will remember him with a smile. Sending my sympathy to Sandy, David and Donna as well as the rest of the family. Don lived a good long life and is reunited with his beloved Jackie now. You were fortunate to have him in your lives for so many years. May memories of good times spent together give you comfort.

What a great loss for the world and a gain for Jackie and God! I only knew this beautiful soul as a patient, but loved him as a friend. He and Jackie were always a joy to be around, so much love, humor and grace displayed by each of them. I know his heart broke the day Jackie went "home" but he stayed strong, always a smile on his face. To all grieving the loss of a father, grandfather, friend.. know that he will always remain in your memories and your hearts as that would be how he would want it.
The world has lost a fine man and I am grateful that I shared just a piece of his life. My condolences to all of the family that will miss him daily. He is now rejoicing in the arms of his true love!
