Devoted husband of Jensine Kadlec Linnane, loving father of Don G (Margaret) Linnane and Cory E (Joanie) Linnane, dearest grandfather of Elizabeth Linnane. Caring step-father of Diane (Michael) Frankowski, Linda Kadlec (partner Mike Catt), Irene (Don) Murray, and the late Richard (Daniella) Kadlec. Adored step-grandfather and step great-grandfather of many. Fond brother of Peter (Victoria) Linnane. Dear uncle of 2 nephews. Preceded in death by his parents, Peter and Blanche Linnane, step mother Adeline Linnane, his first wife, Carole L Linnane (nee Sundberg), sister Diane (Joseph) Miller and brother Richard Linnane.

Don served his country in the United States Air Force and was a proud union member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 701 in DuPage County for 66 years.

Don enjoyed time spent with his wife Jensine in the north woods of Wisconsin. Lac Du Flambeau is where they could be found every summer on the pontoon boat and every winter snowmobiling with their many friends and their blended family. The two of them spent their retirement years traveling the USA and several trips abroad. Don truly enjoyed life to the fullest and considered himself a very lucky man.
