I’m sending my heartfelt condolences to all of Don’s family and friends. He was such a special person. We had the pleasure of spending many wonderful times with Mary and him. He was always so full of energy and excitement. He was always ready to take on any adventure, whether it was at work, coaching or when we were socializing. Being around Don was always a blast, and he had such a strong sense of family values and personal integrity. He’ll be deeply missed, but definitely not forgotten!
On behalf of the Chaplain’s Department at Friendship Village Sunset Hills, please accept our heartfelt condolences on the death of Donald. Thank you for sharing him with the Friendship Village community. Please know “God is near to the brokenhearted.” Ps. 34:18
Very sorry to hear of Don’s passing. Don was one of my son’s soccer coaches at St Margaret Mary & was an assistant on Matt & my son’s baseball team.
Always a calm, easy going guy who always encouraged the boys
Our condolences to the entire Fendler family. Joe & Mary Parisi

Sending heartfelt sympathy to the Fendler family. We have many fond memories of dinner parties, New Year’s Eve gatherings and hanging out at the lake house with Don and Mary. Will both miss and cherish those memories.
Don was a special man. He is my brother in law . I always felt he was my brother not just a brother in law. He had so many talents. Doing things with wood. Making furniture. Always doing something around their house. He loved his children and their spouses. And he so loved his grandkids. He even was known to be the baby sitter. He will be missed by all his family members who loved him.
He was a good guy.
Our hearts share your loss. May your sweet memories sustain you all. Don was a dear co worker and friend. Our hearts are full of many wonderful memories. Heaven holds another bright star.
