Donald Francis Larimer, II
March 9, 1944 – October 7, 2022
Don was born in Omaha and raised in Lincoln, NE. He attended the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, where he graduated as an Electric Engineer. Later, Don obtained an MBA from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. He worked all his professional career at IBM as Senior Consulting System Engineer and at Mutual of Omaha, one of his main clients. Don sincerely believed in serving the community and volunteering; his favorite was assisting hundreds of immigrants in obtaining their U.S. citizenship.
