Don was born and raised in Redwood City, CA and developed an early love of surfing, which brought him to Santa Cruz, where he later built his home in Spring Hills, Corralitos. Don attended San Diego State University and Humboldt State University. He became a licensed Architect, AIA, and designed many beautiful homes and medical buildings for Palo Alto Medical Foundation. Don was honest, extremely generous and had a great sense of humor. He also loved to cook and was a talented artist, painter, gardener and chef. Don is survived by his wife of 34 years, Sue Andre, and daughter, Mandy Lindeke, son-in-law, Brock Lindeke, 2 grandsons, Luke and Leo, sisters-in-law, Ann Warner Nagy and Teri Warner, and brother-in-law, Glen Nagy. A memorial service was held for Don on June 26, 2021 and he came to rest with the ebb and flow of the ocean at Steamer's Lane where he loved to surf. Please make donations in Don's honor to Twin Lakes Church, 2701 Cabrillo College Drive, Aptos, CA 95003.
