May 2024! We had such a sweet visit to Florida with Grandpa Don & Grandma Evelyn! We adventured around the area shopping, enjoying local dining, admiring the beautiful beaches, seeing the Florida wildlife (Manatees) and just sharing sweet time making memories together. It was a beautiful visit, and I’m so glad I had the opportunity to meet Grandpa Don!! He was very fun to talk to, sweet & cool. He is forever loved and he will surely be missed!

Evelyn and family, we are so sad to hear of Don’s passing. We have so many good memories. He was a great friend, one time when we had to move in a hurry he came with a big truck and got us moved quickly. Such fun times when the four of us were together. Seeing how much they loved each other. Knowing that Evelyn took such loving care of him is to be admired. He was blessed to have such a happy marriage. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Donald was more than a patient in our office. He was a beautiful soul whose smile lit up the room every time. He always spoke highly of his family and was always positive. He was one of the few who remembered names and made bonds with the people around him. He left a lasting impression and will forever be remembered in our hearts. His legacy is one that will be remembered forever. Rest peacefully my friend till we meet again. To Donald's family, you will be in my prayers and I hope you find peace during this difficult time. Stay blessed.

Donald was my brother with a different mother & father.  Our Fathers met in the US Army while training to fight the War in Europe and with the same last name they became friends. William & Lawrence made a deal to find each other in Cleveland if they made it through the war. They did make it and the 2 families had Thanksgiving Dinner & Easter Meals & Picnics together. Don & I loved the same stuff like Cars, Music, & more.  So I will miss you my brother and hope to see you in Gods House one day.  Larry Novak Jr.

Evelyn and family:

Our sincere condolences to all of Don's family, especially Evelyn.  Don became a great friend, and I always enjoyed spending time with him. Our last conversation centered around his concerns for Evelyn, not himself. Don cared deeply about his family. I will miss him. RIP Don.

My cousin Don was my most favorite person to talk to and hang out with!  We always laughed and had so much fun together. I will miss his smile, his mischievousness, and his wonderful and weird sense of humor!!  This is not goodbye, my dear, dear cousin. You and I will meet again and laugh again someday. I love you.

I was fortunate to work with Don for many years. We've had so many laughs together. Don always stayed in touch even when he moved to Florida. He actually called me about a month ago with his great sense of humor even with all he was going through. To his family, please accept our condolences and prayers. Keep smiling my friend till we meet again

In loving memory of Donald Novak.  Beloved Father,  Husband,  Brother,  Son  and friend to us all .  We will forever hold and cherish you , your life  and all the moments we shared together. You will be forever loved, missed and admired
