He was born April 21, 1944, in Arlington, Wash., and grew up in Coeur d'Alene. In 1956, Don moved to Seattle and lived there until moving to Tigard in 1996. He worked in the ergonomic furniture industry and was loved and respected by all the customers he served. Don is survived by his wife, Merlyn; daughter Kitt Hastings, Seattle; son Kyle, Chandler, Ariz.; stepson Michael Lund, Tigard; stepdaughter Michelle Cox, Florida; and four grandchildren. He is also survived by his very special aunt, Mrs. Ruth Burch; and many other family members in Coeur d'Alene and the surrounding area. He was preceded in death by his parents, Gladys and Orville Lawrence. Don loved anything with a motor -- and the louder, the better. He would ride a train to anywhere. His favorite pastimes were water-skiing and the time spent working on his 1962 Chevy Biscayne. He was quick to laugh and had a joke or life story for every occasion. Don will be sorely missed by his friends and family, but will be remembered for his gentle personality and his great sense of humor. He would not want us to cry but tip a glass or two to his life and party on. We love you, Don. A celebration of Don's life will be 1-5 p.m. Sept. 11 at Coeur d'Alene Elks, 1117 W. Prairie Ave., Coeur d' Alene. Remembrances may be sent to Providence/St. Vincent Hospice.
