Donald D. Schmidt, age 83, of Waupaca, passed away peacefully on September 10, 2019 at his home.
Don Schmidt…A husband, a father, a grandfather, a brother, an uncle, a friend and so much more. He thoroughly enjoyed every waking moment of the day, always saying “good morning” or “hello” or “goodnight” with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes. A man who loved to whistle while he worked or played, enjoying the day, his way.
