I can safely speak for all the Kienzlers and say we are all sad for your loss. The original “Ice Guy” and the patriarch of one of the finest families I’ve ever had the honor to know.

From me and Ed to Donny and the Squires family: Our heartfelt condolences to you. Don was a good man to know and work for when summer came. Just the sight of him and that black Ranchero was enough to remember him by. Again we are sorry for your loss
