Donald Grauer Obituary

I was your neighbor at 220 Central Ave. from 1984-1988, when our house still had no insulation.

I am sorry for your loss. May his memory always be a blessing.

I always enjoyed Don and his interest in the Opera. His enthusiasm was warm and wonderful. Don was the first person to describe me as having a mustache (after thirteen years trying to grow one.) I will remember him with affection.

Dear Fern, My most heartfelt condolences. I knew Don (Donnie) as a child. He was my neighbor and a good friend of my brother, Sanford. I remember their playing ball in the street on Colfax Avenue. I remember well his parents. I knew most of his childhood friends. About 20 years ago I ran into Don in the CBOT building. We chatted for some time and he told me he had had a by-pass. I am so very sorry for all the troubles all of you went through. May God grant you and your family peace. With loving regard, Janet Bacon

Dear Fern,Anne,Peter,Evelyn,Jordan and Joan,



Please accept our heartfelt sympathy at this time. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Thomas and Maud, too. We will always remember 4th of July, 2003, and what a fun celebration we had with Don at your home. He was a most warm and loving man who always had a smile for everyone.

Fern, no one can fully appreciate your hurt and loss; but you surely know that I care deeply. I only wish that I could be there for you in person, as I am in spirit.

No words can express my deep sympathy for you and your family. You know that we all are thinking of you at this difficult time and are here for you any time you need us.

Fern, Ron and I send our deepest sympathy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. We always enjoyed our times with you and Don in Chicago.



Mary Earl

To Fern and her family my deepest sympathy on their loss.



I fondly remember meeting and working with Don 15 years ago at the beginning of my volunteer career with Lyric Opera of Chicago when Don and I worked the Operathon tabulation table. Since then I have enjoyed his sense of humor and will miss his warmth and his smile.

My sincerest sympathies to you, Fern, and your family. I cannot begin to imagine the depth of your loss. Love, Anne-Marie

Dear Fern;



What can we say, except to express our deepest sympathy.



With great affection,

Addie, Peter & Madeleine Appelbaum

Lots of love to a wonderful family who will miss Don greatly.
