Donald Frank Redmond

D.R.

8/6/34 ~ 11/1/07

Donald Frank Redmond was born into this world on August 6, 1934 in Holladay, Utah to Frank J. Redmond and Dorothea King. He met and married the greatest love of his life, Frances LeeAnn Case, on December 6, 1957. Together they brought into this world three beautiful children-Donald Frank Jr. (Dony), Mindy Lee, and Roby Dee. In turn, they blessed him with six beautiful grandchildren. Dony and Sue blessed him with his first grandchildren, Miesha and Marty. Mindy blessed him with Ty and Scottie. And Roby blessed him with Raquel and Brock. Then Ty and Jodie blessed him with two special and beautiful great grandbabies, Tennille Lee and Tayleigh June who brought him so much love and happiness. It was the bond between him and Tennille that helped keep D.R. alive the last three and a half years of life. Besides the greatest love for his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren was the love of antique automobiles -his favorite, a 1932 Ford 3 Window Coupe.D.R. started his business in 1960 with an old state dump truck and built it into D & R Excavating. He was extremely proud to leave this wonderful legacy to his boys, Dony and Roby.

He is preceded in death by his parents, grandparents and sister,

Lorraine. Survivors include four brothers, four sisters and many very special friends, too numerous to

mention.

Special thanks to Dr. Thomas Kurrus; his special sister, Connie, for all of her love and devotion; Harmony Hospice; Kim (A very special

angel); Laura, Lori, Joan, and Robin.
