R. Donald “Don” Lundquist, age 79 of Luck WI, died at his home late Thursday, March 5, 2015 after a year long battle with cancer.
Roy Donald Lundquist was born on March 31, 1935 in Clear Lake, WI the son of C. Goran & Ruth (Finne) Lundquist. He grew up in the Clear Lake area until his family moved to farm in Emerald near Glenwood City. Don graduated from Glenwood City High School in 1953. He was married to Mary A Curtis at his family farm in Emerald on May 12, 1956. Together they moved to Anoka, MN and raised three children, Jeanie, Jackie, & Lonnie. During this time, Don was employed at Char-Gale Manufacturing and later with Cornelius Company before moving to Luck, WI in 1971. He purchased the Northland Church Furniture Company there and operated that business for the next 44 years until the time of his death. In his spare time, Don enjoyed fishing, woodworking, wolves, and collecting John Deere tractors. His business took him on numerous trips throughout the United States and he was very fond of Reese’s Peanut Butter cups and his daily single serving of Samual Adams. He will be sorely missed by his family and friends.
