We have been requested by the family of Donald C. Piper, Sr. to participate in his military honors funeral services.  Donald, 93, most recently a resident of Slate Valley Center in Granville, passed away Saturday, October 21, 2023.

Don joined the United States Army in 1951, serving in the Korean War. Following his honorable discharge in 1953, Don began his life long career as a truck driver. Don’s two sons, Don Jr. and Mike, along with grandsons, Shannon and Derek, proudly followed in his footsteps, driving truck for three generations.
