Died:
O'Donell (Don) Trumper passed away unexpectedly from a short illness on Jan. 14, 2015, at the age of 88. He was born in Douglas, on April 30, 1926, to Otis and Vera Trumper.

Don, a family man, was a devoted, loving husband and proud, wonderful father and grandfather. He is survived by his wife Joanne, sons Kelly and Michael, daughter Colleen, stepson Gary Hansen and seven grandchildren. He loved and was loved by
in-laws Jim and Barbara Read, Ernie and Donna Douglas and many nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his parents and sister Patricia Murray of Casper.

As a member of the "Greatest Generation," he enlisted into the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1944 and crewed on the quick A-20 "skip bomber" in the South Pacific during World War II. After being honorably discharged, he returned home and found employment in Wyoming's oil industry. He moved to Tucson, Arizona, in 1955 seeking new opportunities and a warmer climate. In 1959, he returned briefly to Wyoming to marry the "love of his life," Joanne Read. They were married on July 15, 1959, and together returned to Tucson where they lovingly shared 55 happy and blissful years.

He was a 30-year employee of Tucson Rock & Sand/Tanner Companies and retired in 1985. In retirement, Don and Joanne enjoyed motorhoming, traveling from the Arctic Circle in Alaska to Nova Scotia and everywhere in between. They loved being together and seeing this great country. Recent years found the two of them still most deeply in love and contentedly enjoying family and home. The radio hobby, both CB and HAM, was an important part of his life. It was 1973 when KFR8871, the "Leapin' Lizard," was born into the CB Radio world. Later, with his desire to communicate with anyone and everyone around the world, Ham Radio Operator "KD7JBN" hit the airwaves. Over the course of four decades, with his friendly, lively banter, he touched the lives of thousands.

You could never meet a more warm, gentle and sincere man. His delightful smile and laugh and his twinkling blue eyes bespoke his loving and generous nature. He possessed a sharp mind to the very end and could discuss current events as easily as reminiscing about the good old days. As a true American patriot, he was very proud of his service to his country. He was a 64-year member of The American Legion, Post 8 in Douglas.
