Don Shainker is deceased. Judy and I stayed in touch with
him long after he moved to Epworth, Iowa with his second
wife Jannie. Don had severe diabetes and died of a sudden
massive heart attack Jan. 12, 1996 I have attached the article
that appeared in his local paper. Sorry to bring this sad news.

Don was a tire engineer. Aside from his family, his greatest
joy was engaging in Clown Ministry and being a Shriner. He
was a registered clown, known as Bo Beetles; he and his
puppet BO BO entertained at hospitals, nursing homes,
churches and other community events. He was a 32 Degree
Mason.
