| Don Reppart |
He was retired from the Akron Beacon Journal after
thirty-five years of service. Donald was a dedicated and hardworking employee
who was loved by all of his fellow employees for his sense of humor and quick
wit.
Although he was deaf, he worked twice as hard to keep up
in the hearing world. Donald had a passion for life and was a loving husband,
father, and grandfather. He was also a diehard Ohio State and Cleveland Browns
fan. Donald loved the outdoors, a good meal, and his Chihuahuas Petey and
Chiara. His smile and laugh were infectious and would light up a room.
Donald formerly attended Wooster Nazarene Church of the
Deaf.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by
his mother and father-in-law, Davis and Leafy Bohon of Elkins, W. Va., and
sisters-in-law, Nelda Reppart and Beverly Reppart.
Donald is survived by his wife of 54 years, Nancy (Bohon)
Reppart; children, Douglas Reppart of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, Darrell (Brenda)
Reppart of Grove City, Pa., and Susan (Paul) Dorando of Green, Ohio;
grandchildren, Jessica Reppart, Samuel and Cianna Dorando, Jayson and Jared
Reppart; brothers and sister, David Reppart, Larry Reppart, Joe (Pauline)
Reppart, Janet (Jim) Kennedy, Phillip (Cindy) Reppart, and John (Rochelle)
Reppart; and many nieces and nephews that he loved dearly.
The family would love to extend a special thank you to
the staff at Aultman Compassionate Care Center for their extraordinary care
that they showed to Don and his family.
A private memorial service will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Donald's name to the
Aultman Compassionate Care Center (2821 Woodlawn Ave. NW, Canton, OH 44708).
Arrangements under the direction of Ohio Cremation and Professional Services
(330-438-1745), Mark R. Vrabel Funeral Home, North Canton.
