Donald J. Wack
Donald J. Wack, 90, of Lancaster Township, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Friday after a year and a half of declining health.
Born May 13, 1928, he was the son of the late William Wack and Anna Kissick Wack.
Don attended school up to the eighth grade and did very well for himself. Being self-employed, he was known as a hard worker, handling tons of sawdust, hay, straw and wood. He had a love for the farm and his Belgian horses. We laughed often how he peddled his eggs and tomatoes. He never actually retired, but always found something to do. He often suckered others into helping him.
Don was a proud member of the Pennsylvania Draft Horse Association, the Belgian Draft Horse Association of America and the Historical Construction Equipment Association.
He enjoyed collecting antique farm equipment and hunting.
He will be dearly missed and fondly remembered.
He leaves behind to cherish his memory his wife of 63 years, Norma Franz Wack; three sons, Dale (Paula) Wack, Jay and Dean, all of Harmony; three cherished grandchildren, Carrie, Ashley and Travis; three siblings, Edna Stoltenberg of Pittsburgh, Lillian Winkelmann of North Carolina, and Jean Johnston of Florida; and numerous nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, Don was preceded in death by his siblings, Grace, William, David, Earl and Roland Wack.
