“I highly recommend this funeral home and crematorium; when I had to make and pay for my brother’s arrangements across state lines, Evelyn Montonya, in particular, demonstrated both compassion and professionalism and made a very sad and difficult situation much easier. Many thanks.”
Pops was truly one of a kind. For as long as I can remember, one of my favorite things about being around Pops was the fact that I would hear story after story. Most of them were funny but they all had some sort of lesson that was intertwined within them. Pops will always be one of the funniest people I have ever met and I will certainly miss laughing with him. He was also the best tour guide anyone could have ever asked for. We always took the scenic route but I never minded. In fact, I loved taking his scenic routes. Unfortunately, my last visit with Pops was in April. However, I will always be so fortunate and thankful that my last visit was one of my favorite. Pops will be forever missed and always remembered. Love you, Pops!

Anyone who ever met Don remembers him. He was that mix of personality, style, and sense of humor. He was truly one of a kind. Everyone has a “Don” story.
I will remember him as a businessman who worked hard and provided jobs and paychecks for scores of people throughout his long career.
I will remember how he treated customers, employees, and all he dealt with as friends.
I will remember his sense of humor and can-do attitude which made working with him fun.
I will remember a Life well lived. Rest In Peace.
We will remember. God Speed, Don.

Uncle Don was the man that made everyone feel special and loved. There are many memories of summer patio days, Don’s famous hamburgers and a house full of family. Don was a gracious man that was the best doughnut shop taxi driver, Christmas light tour guide and the best person to get a hug from in any room. Thank you for the memories and time you spent with me. Much love to Aunt Brenda and family.

Brenda, we were so sorry to hear about Dons passing. He was a good friend. We met for the first time when he was invited to a meeting of similar distributors. (AID). Don was quiet and thoughtful And we weren’t sure what he thought. The next year he was invited back as a member and made a wonderful presentation. We all clapped and cheered. Don smiled and stood up and opened his coat and shirt and was wearing a super man T shirt! We never again had to wonder what Don was thinking. When we became a Spotnails distributor and toured the country to see how the other guys did it our last stop was Southern Staple. Don was a Spotnails Distributor from head to toe including the canned beverages we enjoyed that were Spotnail branded. We got back home and decided we would do it the way Don did. It worked! We recently visited with Don and Brenda and theywere superlative hosts and we had a wonderful visit.
Goodby old friend. You were one of a kind and will be missed.

Don was a very special friend to Spotnails and his loss is felt deeply here among all who worked with him for as far back as 30 years. Personally, I am so thankful to have had more than just a business relationship with Don. I am grateful for the influence he had in my life and the friendship we had together. One of the characteristics I appreciated most about Don was how candid he was with me. He could be blunt at times.. but you always knew where you stood! I will miss you Don and will keep my home open to Brenda if you ever find your way to Chicago!

Brenda – We are sending you loving thoughts from LA. We sent our donation to Clifton HS in honor of Don’s generous spirit. I will always remember Uncle Don for that magical gleam of mischief which runs strong in the Kanz clan, but perhaps most strongly in him.

So sorry to hear about your loss. Don was always nice to be around and was more like a brother to me and my recently departed wife when we visited Texas travelling the world in the Air Force. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him

I have a letter on my office wall that Don sent me when I expanded my business…it says: “YOU’VE DONE GOOD!” That is how Don put things. I got to know Don when I was the regional mgr. for Spotnails. I took Ray Blakeman, the Spotnail president, to visit him. He told us he was in the “bent wire business” and he’d buy from the company with the best price. It was then I knew I liked Don and he was an excellent business man, and also became a great friend. We love both Don & Brenda at the different sales meetings. May you rest in peace. Steve & Jan

As students at Clifton High School we were surrounded by the many members of the Kanz family. What great students and role models they were for all of. Don was no exception. Great sense of humor. High energy. Committed achiever. To Don we would say thank you for all of that, and thank you for your service to our great nation. To his family we extend our sincerest condolences and pray that God will surround you with his powerful an comforting arms and that his glorious grace will care for you during this time of loss. We all look forward to a great class reunion of all the Cubs at the foot of our maker’s grand and eternal throne in a celebration of love and life that will know no end. Until then, peace be with you, and with us all as we join you in morning this sad loss.

What special friend he and Brenda have been,
We have had so many fun times together.
I learned a lot from Don he was way ahead of social media with his mailings special by snail mail long before email.
He was the kind of friend that you could call in the middle of the night bring cash tonight and help me dig the hole & hold the
light and never ask why or say anything else about it or even ask when I could pay him
back. Honest hardworking guy we will Miss him. R.I.P. BROTHER
