Obituary

Donald Richard Tatosky was born February 5, 1933 to Robert and Mary Tatosky in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He passed away April 21, 2025 with his daughter, grandsons, and son (son-in-law) by his side. He joined the Navy right out of high school and served from Apriil 7, 1952 thru February 21, 1956. He married Sibyl Stovall and spent 67 years wanting nothing more than to be by her side and make her happy. He raised 2 daughters - Ila and Sherri - and helped them know our Lord, grow, and showed them by example to love God and all people. Many have stated that he was the kindest man they ever met.

He and Sibyl enjoyed CB radios in the 70s and had CB club that lasted for many years. He taught himself to sew - which he really enjoyed - and made many things for all of the family. He made his daughter's wedding dress in 1982 and won 2nd place for it at the Mid-South Fair that year. His dad taught him carpentry, and he built an addition onto the family home as his girls got bigger instead of moving. He could fix just about anything in the home or vehicles. He and Sibyl were very social. They gathered with friends every week and went dancing once or twice a week. He loved dancing.

He retired from NCR in 1990 and he and Sibyl travelled in an RV for 6 months out of every year for 25 years after.

He will be dearly missed by his wife Sibyl, his daughter Sherri, - his oldest, Ila, passed away in 2018 - son-in-law Steve, Grandsons Alex and Ian, and many, many friends.

We Love You, Dad!
