My deepest sympathies to the Alme family. Met him when I was growing up and hanging out at the Schultz house. Nice man.

Your soul has taken its "honor flight" and we will miss your smile, your laugh, your sense of humor, that mischievous twinkle in your eye, and your willingness to make sure we all were happy. But most of all, we'll just miss you! A part of you lives on in each of our hearts as we treasure the memories you left for us until we meet again. We loved you in life and we love you still.

My sympathies to the Alme family. We were neighbors back in the 60s. I always thought your dad was a very nice man. Diane Indermuehle Foreyt

His was no ordinary life. His was a life well-lived and well-loved, a life that will be deeply missed.
It won't be the same at WIAA basketball time with Don's seat empty.
