Don L. Herlitz Jr.

We are sorry for your loss. We will miss him,Robert Lee and Ruth..

uncle Don, I remember you took us swimming, to see the fireworks, and long wonderful road trips in some pretty awesome cars. You were a good cook to. I remember we always ate good when you were home. You taught me how to make an omlette that I still make, and roasted potatoes, and grilled cheese! you always loved your kids so much! and you could put a smile on anyone's face! you lived a great life! rest in peace in heaven uncle don!!!!!!!!

I first met Don Belushi working at Schoepp Motors. You were a awsome salesperson but even a better cook some of the soup you made we're out of this world. Working in the car business you put in a lot of hours and your co-workers quickly become second family. One Saturday after work we all decided to go to the Silver Eagle on Monona Drive for karaoke. The next thing I know Don grabs the microphone and start singing a song about lesbians. My mouth hit the floor and then all the sudden the entire bar started laughing. I wish I remember those lyrics but anyone that was there that day will never forget it. The last thing you said to me was the viqueens played a good game. He knew I was a huge Viking fan and always had to get at me. Rest in peace.

RIP Don... Such a great guy, with a big heart and a big appetite for life. A true music aficionado as well. I will always remember him as one of the most enthusiastic audience members ever... Dancing, yelling, carrying on with unbridled joy. He was one of the first friends I made at Madison East High School when our family moved to Madison so many years ago. Don, you will be missed but your memory will be a blessing.

Frisbee, music, hockey, having fun. Pretty much explains growing up with Don. A true and proud east sider. He is going to be missed. Don, I will see you again, RIP. My deepest sympathies to Don's family. Joe Brown
