Beloved husband of Janet Olthoff, nee Kerkstra. Loving father of Valerie (Richard) Knoll and Daniel (Carol) Olthoff. Devoted grandfather of Ryan (Rebekah) Knoll, Heather (Casey) Yoshihara, Sarah (Juan) Jimenez, and Erica (Joshua) Bice and proud great-grandfather of Hailey, Chloe, Carson, Hope, Nathan, Lexi, Jonah, Noah, Kyah, and Lauren. Dear brother of Dorothy (late Calvin) Hoekstra, late Willard (Charlotte) Olthoff, late Ralph (late Jean) Olthoff, and the late Bernard (late Shirley) Olthoff.
Don was a farmer for most of his life. When he “retired” from farming, he drove a cement truck for 10 years for Ozinga. He loved to play with his grandchildren, and later his great-grandchildren, and loved to joke around with them. He always enjoyed joking and playing jokes.
