I’m sorry we were not there Don. You made myself and my son Travis feel so welcome to the Fallon flying club. Thank you for everything you did for us.

With love and sympathy to all the family and especially Lola and Dorothy. God bless you all. Sue Rosati 11/12/2023 12:58 PM

To All the Formentini family-my deepest sympathy on Donald’s passing. My mother, Dorine, loved her cousin dearly and I remember visiting together in CA and Illinois.

Don was the brother I missed, the Grandfather to my boys that they loved and the best friend to my husband. The two of them got into more trouble than anyone could think of. Whenever we had to find a mechanical answer, we had to "call Don". Wesley could hardly wait to get rid of his backback on Friday so he could go to Don and Lola's. Any special school projects were overseen by Don, the master builder. Thank you for all the years of love and memories. You will be sorely missed. We love you.
