Donald Slack Obituary
Don entered the U.S. Army the day after he turned eighteen. He was a career soldier who served his country for twenty seven years. He retired to the beautiful state of Colorado which was a great place for him to enjoy two of his favorite activities.
Don was an avid fisherman and hunter who had a great appreciation for the outdoors. He was happiest when he was spending time outdoors with his family.
Don is survived by his wife Betty of Colorado Springs; son Mark (wife Jeannie) of Round Rock, TX; son Neal (wife Patti) of Georgetown, TX ; and daughter Lynn (husband Alex) Guido of Colorado Springs. Don was very proud of his grandchildren - Kara (husband Ben) Regier and Evan Slack; Kelsey and Garrett Slack; Nate, Abby and Nick Guido and great-granddaughter Dylan Regier.
Don was preceded in death by his parents; grandparents; brother Victor Slack (late Frieda) and sister Helen Slack.
Funeral service is to be held Saturday, May 16th at Memorial Gardens Funeral Home at 11 a.m. (viewing from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.). A simple graveside service will follow at the Memorial Gardens Cemetery.
