Donald Korach, Sr.

Donald Milton Korach, Sr., 86, of Cushing died September 8, 2021.

Don was born August 7, 1935, to Milton and Mary (Susie) Korach in Joliet, Illinois. He grew up in and loved Joliet. 

As an adult Don owned and operated a laundromat and worked as a crane operator at Phoenix Manufacturing. One of the new secretaries at work caught his eye and on October 1, 1960, Don and Sandra Grommon were married in Naperville, IL. 

Don purchased Birch Acres Resort on Fishtrap Lake in Cushing in 1968 and Central Minnesota has been his home ever since. Don had a love for flowers, old cars and an ethic of working hard. He had a thing for old movies, always needing one more. Music from the 50’s seemed to be the only channel/CD available. He loved people and would talk to anyone about anything. Don’s list of “buddies” is endless. 

Don is survived by one son, Don (Marjorie) Korach, of San Jose, Costa Rica; one daughter, Deborah Korach of Cushing; four grandchildren Rachel (Felipe Umaña) and Donald Korach of Costa Rica, Shannon Joslin and Nicole Larson of Cushing;   one great-granddaughter, soon to be arriving, Lily Lyn; one cousin, Arlene Cerere and one niece, Amber Korach, both of Joliet. 

He is preceded in death by his wife, Sandra; parents; one brother, Kenneth and one niece, Stacey.

Arrangements are by the Brenny Family Funeral Chapel, Staples.                                                                w39c  A00006B2021SP22
