As a young man, Don grew up on the family farm in the Town of Lincoln, and at 18 he bought a truck and started his own milk hauling business. He then owned and operated D & R Furniture Store in Marshfield with his brother-in-law, Gordon Rasmussen, until his retirement. After retirement, he enjoyed many winters in Sarasota, Florida and had a close group of friends both in Florida and Wisconsin.
He is survived by his children, Don (Linda) Dieringer of Fort Myers, FL, Sue Dieringer of Green River, WY, Lori (Jake) Gropp of Marshfield, a daughter-in-law, Danielle Dieringer of Marshfield, and Mary Jane’s loving family. He is also survived by eight grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
