7. October Customer of the Month: Don Meminger
Don Meminger hails from Rochester, NY but three years ago, he moved to
Venice, FL after marrying his lovely wife, Mary. He and Mary now live in
Pennington Place Estates with their large Irish setter, Johann Sebastian.
Don has a long history with music. He was the Director of Music for the
Diocese of Rochester for over 15 years and at one point was in charge of
96 churches. He has played the organ for Catholic churches for over 68
years. Although retired, he still practices the organ daily and substitutes
as an organist in various Catholic churches in this area.
“I met Mary and her late husband, Dick, in Rochester,” Don said. “They
both sang in one of my church choirs.”
Mary and Dick eventually moved to Venice, but Mary kept in touch with
Don each year through Christmas cards.
“Eight years ago I got a Christmas card from Mary and in it she told me that Dick had been diagnosed with
cancer,” Don said. “She knew I would understand because I had already lost two wives to cancer.”
Mary and Don began communicating through emails and phone calls and when Dick passed away in 2007
Mary called to let Don know.
“We kept in contact with phone calls for over a year and our phone bills got
outrageously high,” Don said. “When the monthly bill reached $780, we
realized that we were meant to be.”
Don and Mary were married in Rochester, NY in June of 2009 and Don, Johann
and Don’s grand piano moved to Venice that July. Between the two of them,
they now have 11 children and 17 grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Don, Mary and Johann manage to keep active with daily walks and weekly
visits to various assisted living and nursing care facilities.
Twelve-year-old Johann is a very special dog. He
is a beautiful guide dog who has been insured and
licensed by Bright & Beautiful Inc.
He brings great joy to others when he and Don visit the residents at Sunset
Lake, Pinebrook Care & Rehab Center, Jacaranda Trace and even Tidewell
Hospice.
Don has been a loyal customer of 1 Stop Car & Truck Repair since moving to
Venice in 2009. He appreciates the fair prices, honesty and immediate
response that he receives from 1 Stop.
“When I called yesterday and said, ‘The Buick won’t start’, John came out
with no hesitation and looked at my car, checking the battery with a jump
pack,” Don said. “The guys at 1 Stop always responded immediately.”
“When I told John, ‘You have to keep my van running for at least another 40,000 miles,’ John told me it
would be no problem,” Don said. “That’s why I’ve been a 1 Stop customer for 3 years now.”
