Donald Myhrer

Myhrer, Donald R. age 76, of Coon Rapids, passed away May 10, 2012. Preceded in death by parents, Olga and Thorvald Myhrer. Donald was a supervisor of Gould/GNB batteries on Lexington Ave in St. Paul for 37 years, retiring in 1992.
He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, "uncle Don" and friend; he was always willing to tell a story and lend a hand. May the fish that got away be thankful, and the jokes told always be remembered. He was very useful to finding out how to fix things and always encouraged everyone to keep on trying and to be thankful for what you have. Over the past couple years you could never leave without taking one of his many paintings or drawings.
Donald was survived by wife, Phyllis; daughters, Sheryll (John) Kjos, Jody Kaczor, and Karen (Jim) Costello; Sons, Steve (Becky) Myhrer, Kevin Myhrer, James (Tracie) Myhrer; 18 grandchildren; 23 great grandchildren; sister Marlene Owens; Brothers Robert (Ivy) Myhrer, Lester (Norma) Myhrer, Larry (Linda) Myhrer; many other relatives as well as friends.
