Donald Emmett Schwartzhoff was born on March, 30, 1937, to Emmett and Lillian (Doubek) Schwartzhoff. He attended Washington Country School through the 8th grade. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1956 and was stationed in Germany for two years. In 1954, Don was introduced to the love of his life, Shirley Ann Link, by his uncle and aunt, Tom and Mary Ann Doubek. Don and Shirley were married on August 9, 1958, in Caledonia, MN, and to this union eight children were born (not all at once!). Don and Shirley farmed in Eitzen, MN, then Dorchester, IA, on the farm next to his parents. In 1973, Don started carpentry work with Mabel Lumber Co. He moved the family to Dorchester and then purchased and operated the Dorchester Store. Don also worked for Meiners Lumber Co. before starting his own business, Schwartzhoff Construction, with his sons. Many of his employees through the years were nephews, grandsons, and friends. After Shirley’s passing in 2004, Don met and married Vee Soller in 2007. Vee later died in 2012. Don was a member of St. Mary’s Church in Dorchester and St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Waukon. He enjoyed watching the Chicago Cubs, Iowa Hawkeyes, and Minnesota Vikings. He loved touring the countryside, showing family and friends the many buildings he had built over the years, and was always ready to visit over a cold beer or glass of wine. He lived for his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and for many years went to lunch once a week with his siblings. Don was a man of great faith. He relished his conversations with Msgr. Ed, Father Joe, and Father Mark, and loved going to church, always arriving very early. Survivors include his children: JoAnn and Les Winters and children: Travis, Amanda (Lloyd and son Henry), Stacy (Seth), and Thomas (Samantha); Steve and Angie Schwartzhoff and children: Krystal (Nick and son Kaleb) and Shane; Christine Schwartzhoff and Mark Hoppenjan and children: Reggie (Heather), Ross (Malorie and children Zoe and Boston), and Kelsey (Frank and sons Bo and Eli); Mark and Sally Schwartzhoff and children: Monica (Andrew), Rodney (Mary), and Emmett; Pat and Kristine Schwartzhoff and children: Brandon, Kayla (Brody and children Charlee and Baby Baxter), Tony (Bekah and sons Connor and Logan), Dillion Stone (Emily and children Jace, Olivia, and Kasen), and Kourtney Stone ; Larry and Katie Schwartzhoff and children: Ben (Rachel), Mati (Matt), and Jenna (Jacob); Dana and Jason Fish and children: Dakota, Levi and Daphne; and Nicole and Ben Read and daughters: Sophia and Isabelle; former son-in-law Jerry Baxter; former daughter-in-law Bonnie Schwartzhoff; siblings: Mary Ward, Carol (Bill) Hancock, Judy (Dennis) Byrnes, Mavis Wishcop, Karen (Dave) Gross, and Kathy Schwartzhoff; in-laws: Bess Link, Deloris Link, Wilma Nelson, Janet (Bill) O’Hare, Jim (Karen) McCormick, Pat Delaney, and Gary Ward; and special friends: Bobbie Becker and family and Mike and Linda Mettille and family.
