Don was born the second son of George and Doris Kessler Feldman on Sept. 6, 1930, in Warsaw. He had been a resident of Bourbon before moving to the South Bend area in 1965. He graduated from Tippecanoe High School in 1949, where he was a member of the basketball team. On July 7, 1951, Don married Sarah Border, of Bourbon.
Don proudly served his country in the Army, stationed at the Arctic Test Bn AFF, Big Delta, Alaska. He held several positions during his lifetime before retiring from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local # 153 after a near fatal accident. During his free time, he enjoyed camping in his Airstream and was an active member of Airstream International (Wally Byam Caravan Club). He also served as the head of disaster for the Indiana Northern District of the American Red Cross and was a Boy Scout Master for 25 years.
Don will be dearly missed by his loving wife, Sarah; son, Lewis (Kathy) Feldman, of West Lafayette; and daughter, Lynette Otto, of South Bend. He will also be missed by his grandchildren: Jennifer (Scot) Ward, of Athens, Ill.; Nichole (Matthew) Carpenter, of Seattle, Wash.; Jessica (Keith) Carlson, of Parker, Colo.; and Clayton (Caroline) Feldman, of Colorado Springs, Colo. His great-grandchildren, Mykenzie Ward, Trent Ward, Owen Carlson, Wyatt Carlson, Cassidy Carlson and Clayton Alan (Tony) Feldman Jr., will miss him as well.
Don is preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Nancy Martin, Alice Waggoner; and brother, Bobby Feldman.
