Don Dunk's Obituary

I thought I'd go ahead and post Don Dunk's obituary on here in the event someone "googles" his name looking for the information. I was asked to get this in the Indianapolis Star, but ran into roadblocks finding out that only a Funeral Director can submit an obituary and the Star will charge the family around $700.00 to place it in their paper!!! I am awaiting on an answer from the family and his Executor whether to proceed or not. Bless her heart - Kay Hartley is going to help me with this if they decide to submit it.

Thank you for posting this Bob. I am so glad he came to Hinkle for Sunday service and we were able to meet him. He has made a lasting impression on me through you and Paulette. The way he lived his life, his faith and the calm brave way he faced his illness.
