    Deltona, FL Friday, January 18, 2008 My grandparents Roy and Sue Carlstrom introduced Don and his family many, many years ago at the Izaak Walton Park. Although I moved from Fremont 31 years ago my mother Joan Strimple has always kept me up to date with news of the Ikes and such. Donald will surely be missed by many. My best wishes to his family
