Don was born and raised in Crest Hill. He was enlisted in the United States Army Reserves. Don was also a Crest Hill City Council Member, member of the Richland School Board, director of the Richland Youth Sports Program for 20 years, member of the Local #150, and a local business man, owning and operating Tomich and Sons.
Don loved attending all of his grandchildren’s activities. He enjoyed all sports, especially his Dukies. Vacationing in the Upper Peninsula and Florida made great family memories and were another joy of his. Spending time with his family and friends was of course the most meaningful of all. “Rest in peace our good man.”
Thank you Ann-Marie for all of your care and support to Charlene and Don.
In lieu of flowers, memorials in Don’s name to Joliet Area Community Hospice would be appreciated.
