Marilynn, Tammy and I have your entire family in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. Don has been remembered often and fondly in the almost 20 years he has been retired. So many of us learned so much and benefitted from Don's wisdom and leadership, even when he had to show us some tough love??!! Rest assured that Don will never be forgotten for all the amazing things he did for so many both personally and professionally. Lots of hugs and prayers coming from Austin, MN!!

Melva and I attended high school together in Johnson, Nebraska. We graduated in a class of 10. Don was one year behind us. Don and I (Bill) were on the basketball team together. Don and Bill later attended the University of Nebraska and I remember we took Principles of Economics together from an out-standing and nationally known professor named Robert McConnell. Judging by Don’s great success in the business world, I believe he learned more than I. We spent many an hour together cruising the back roads of Nemaha County in his hot Ford coupe with the suicide doors. Don had to turn out to be a great and loving person because he had two of the greatest of parents.
I (Melva Grube Schmidt) knew Don well because one time we lived in the country within a mile of each other. I remember one Sunday after church he wanted me to go with him hunting in one of my dad’s pastures. He had just been given a new gun. He, one of his cousins, and I needed to cross a barbed wire fence. One of us got hung up in the fence and that was the end of the great hunting expedition, as we had to go back to the house to be bandaged. Don’s cousins, Eileen and Lois Broady, and I had many good times growing up together.
When Don and his wife were living in Boise, Idaho, on one of our many trips to Nebraska, we spent a night in Boise and got together with the Pohlman’s to catch up on what had happened in each other’s lives. We extend our condolences to his wife Marilynn, son David, and the rest of his family. Don will be missed, but he had a full and rewarding life and career. We will always remember him as a very positive and enthusiastic individual.

Don Pohlman.....a true gentleman. Don is one of the classiest, gentlest, solid, and honest men I have ever met. There are countless complimentary adjectives that could describe the type of man he was. I am honored to have known him. He will be missed. He was definitely one of the "greatest generation!" If more men in this world were more like Don the world would be a much better place.
My sincere condolences to Marilyn, David, Susan, and Julia, and other family members I have not mentioned. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Don, dear friend and colleague, rest in peace. It is said a man's mark in this world is a measure of those lives he has touched in a positive way. By that standard you were a good and faithful servant. My memory is filled to the brim of our travels. There should have been a book or movie!. Love ya man.
