DonAllan C. Starke, 89 of Nashotah, passed away on Friday, March 8, 2024, at his home.
DonAllan was born on July 10, 1934, in Milwaukee, WI. He attended high school in Oconomowoc and began his working career soon after. On December 28, 1968, he married Sylvia Hall in Lake Mills, WI. The couple enjoyed life on Okauchee Lake together for 55 years. Activities they enjoyed include boating, swimming, and fishing. Don loved to spend time outdoors - either hunting, being near the water, or attending car shows with his friends. He was a notably positive man, never met a person he didn't like, and made sure he treated people with kindness and respect, even when it was undeserving. A goodman, who was respected and admired by many, will be dearly missed.
