Donald Gesualdo

Don was born to Mary and Tony Gesualdo on November 1, 1943 in Centerville, Iowa. We met while working at John Deere Company in Moline, Illinois. We hit it off very quickly and I “suggested” very seriously that we made a great couple and should get married. He gave me a very strange look and then nodded his head. We have two children, Chris and David. Chris is married to Tricia and they have given us two beautiful grandaughters, Catlin and Alyssa. Don worked for Deere and Company until 1992 when he accepted early retirement. We moved to South San Francisco and bought our boat Neshama to live on. Don had not spent very much time at all near the water but loved our life aboard. We eventually took the boat to Mexico and cruised the Sea of Cortez for several years. We moved back to Colorado to be close to our grand girls. Don passed away on June 11, 2022. He will be cremated and his ashes will remain with me. I miss him so much, we made a great team.
