I know this is VERY late, but I just wanted the Carlini family to know how sorry we were to hear about Don or 'Veets' (sp?) as my Dad so fondly called him. I know how much my Dad valued he and Don's friendship and especially the bond they had created though SJU. From the few times I was around Don- mainly on the SJU campus, I could see that he had a way of making those around him truely feel important and special. He will be greatly missed! Our thoughts and prayers are will you still.

Our hearts go out to the Carlini family we will always remember Don as a very fun loving soft spoken generous family man. He will me missed greatly by all.
God bless

Carlini Family,

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you at this time of sorrow.

To Mrs. Don Carlini & Family, So sorry to hear about the loss of Don. My staff at Examone in Oakbrook Terrace, ILL. are very sad today. I have done Business with Don's Insurance Agency for many years examining his clients. He was a great man and Ins Agent- We will all miss him. Thank You Louise Picardi- OPERATIONS MANAGER-EXAMONE

To Anthony, Leah, Mrs. Carlini and all the extended Carlini family, speaking on behalf of the entire Fernandez family, we send our deepest heartfelt condolences on your loss. Previous work commitments prevented me from attending the services and for that I deeply apologize. I feel honored to have known Mr. Carlini through Anthony, Leah, and as my basketball coach at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel grade school. Not only was he an excellent coach, he was an even better role model who epitomized class, respect, and high virtue. One needs to look no further than to Anthony and Leah as testament to this legacy. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

We are shocked to learn of Don's passing and feel saddened for all those closest to him. Like so many have said Don was so warm and friendly, kind and gentle and a very proud father and grandfather. He was also the best insurance agent we will ever know. He will be missed by many for a long time.

Those of us who shared some very memorable days at Mt. Carmel School, remember Donnie's wonderful smile and spirit. As adults, we appreciated his kind heart and that wonderful smile, always. I so wanted to be there this week, but the weather made flying from the New Orleans area too great of a challenge. May the Lord bring His peace to all of the family and friends of Don.

To Barb, Anthony, Leah and all the extended Carlini family, My deepest and heartfelt sympathy on this great loss. I was very saddened and shocked to hear of Don's passing away. Our families have been friends for as many years as I can remember so he truly will be missed. My late husband Vince was especially fond of Don. They shared many good times while working together years ago. My children and I will always remember him. So many of us have fond memories of him to hold on to.

I am so sorry for your loss. I wanted to be there but was unable to because of my condition .. DON will be remembered for his friendly ways and always with a smile...

I was devastated to learn of the passing of Mr. Carlini.

He was a great person and a true gentleman.

My deepest sympathy.

My brother, Ralph, was a friend and classmate of Don's at Fenwick. Their friendship has endured all these years even though Ralph now lives in Phoenix, AZ. Don always was so kind to my Mom, the late Mary Serpico, always taking the time to greet her and make her feel like she was a special part of his life. He was a friend to all the Seniors in Melrose Park. My heart is heavy with the grief that is extended to his entire family.

Our deepest sympathy to the Carlini family. We have many fond memories of Don. His time at St, John's U and his visits to Minnesota. He will be greatly missed.

To the Carlini family; My thoughts and prayers are with you. I have known Don as a fellow insurance agent for the last 16 years. He was a wonderful person, colleague and friend. He always had kind words to say, a smile on his face and a warm and welcoming hello. I feel blessed to have known him, and on behalf of the entire district at Farmers, he will be greatly missed.

Anthony and Leah,

I am very sorry for the loss of your father. My deepest sympathy.

TO THE ENTIRE CARLINI FAMILY:

To ALL Don's family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Just remember the wonderful times and all the memories that will continue with the stories that will be told on and on and smile, he will continue living in all of you.

I have had the PLEASURE of knowing Don for quite a few years. Don was a quiet, reserved and a good man. Don was a caring person who would give you the shirt off his back.
I am going to miss him, miss his laughter and his kind and gentle spirit.
My prayer for peace in your hearts go out to his loved ones. May GOD bless you all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Carlini Family. He was always at our softball games and one of our biggest fans. Our hearts go out to you and your family.

We knew Don through Barb, a long-time business associate of Jim's. The time spent in South Haven (MI) with Barb and Don will always be remembered fondly. It is with great sadness that Don will no longer be a part of summer on North Beach. We are so very sorry.

I met Mr. Carlini through his daughter, Leah, at Eastern. He was a kind and fun dad who was great to have down for a visit at college. I also loved watching Leah and her dad dance so gracefully at her wedding. It was apparent how much he loved his daughter. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. I am thinking about you Leah.

Geralyn, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of need. May the many memories you have last and live on through you. God will be with you at this time, and will always be at your side.

I met Don in the 80's when he first became a producer for WIA and have talked to him off and on over the last 20+ years even after I left WIA. Don was the perfect gentleman and from day one always wanted to know everything about the insurance business. He wasn't just a salesmen - he really cared about his customers and doing the right thing for them. He was a wonderful person and we will all miss him. May God be with your family because this is a terrible loss to all of us. My prayers will be for your comfort and for Don's place in Heaven because he surely deserves to be there.

I worked with Don's wife for several years at Ford. I remember Don as a dedicated father and husband who was also very proud of his business. He was always supportive of Barb's career aspirations. It was a pleasure to see Don at Ford "spouse included" events. May he rest in peace and continue to watch over his family.

Don was a dedicated and devoted professional. My prayers and condolences go out to his family in this time of need.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
