Don Sickels will be remembered for his unique mix of exuding a classic teacher's seriousness with quirky twists of humour. He and Sallie have brought up three very exceptional children, that moved through young adulthood, to their varied stations in life today. This has afforded Don the pleasures of seniority in the Sickels Family - ably shared by Sallie. I was privileged to get to know and appreciate Don in my American Field Service year in Waukesha from 1977 to 1978, The Sickels' Waukesha home and Lake Nokomis cottage have been shared with passing friends like myself, and the Sickels Family's membership of the First United Methodist Church in Waukesha has been an important part of what each Family member is today, I'd say. Don will be missed for his down-to-earthedness, but especially for his friendship, sharing nature and of course, his wonderful sense of humour. I will never forget pheasant and deer hunting in Jefferson and Waupaca Counties with Don, Dave Claflin, and their respective sons - John and Jim, and Tim and Bill and the great times we had together, To Sallie and Sue, as well, my thoughts and sympathies go to you on Don's sad passing. A wonderful Family has lost its Chief. We are all the poorer for that. Farewell Don, From Bryan Bench, Herold's Bay, South Africa
