Resident Highlights Don Bardonner was born in Waukegan, Illinois on April 23rd, 1935. His parents were a high school teacher and a homemaker, both from Indiana. He attended school at West elementary school and Waukegan High school. In high school, he played baseball and basketball.

After school he went to college at Drake university in Des Moines, Iowa.

Don graduated with a bachelor of science in business. It was in college that he met Pat.

Don spends his time now watching sports and attending games. He found softball to be one of his favorite sports and even joined the senior team. He also spends his time with his four grandchildren and three children.

He met Pat on a blind date which was initiated by his friend Ken who was dating Pat’s friend at the time. Pat became a nurse and they have now been married for 63 years.

After college, Don went into the army for 6 months. After the army he moved back to Waukegan, where he worked at Abbot Labs. Don’s first job was as a cost accountant which he said he did not like.

He was then transferred to the systems and programming department where he worked with computers.

In 1964, they moved to Brookfield, Wisconsin where he started working for Universal Foods as a manager of the computer department. He retired after over 32 years of working there.

Don and Pat have also done their fair share of traveling. They have visited Alaska, New Zealand and even Europe more than once. During retirement they kept up their travels and they are very involved with their church and other activities.

Don says that they looked at Tudor Oaks after a friend recommended it to them. He also heard about it through a presentation from Judy Radish through the Kiwanis International Rotary Club. They thought it was a perfect fit and close to their family .

At Tudor Oaks Don is very active and involved. Not only is he a wing representative but he was the past resident council president. Don is also a member of the activity committee and he and Pat have been living here for 8 years.

What is your favorite food?

That is a hard one…I love fruit and dip especially during the summer. I make a really good Lasagna which my husband loves when I make it.

What are your interests/hobbies?

My hobbies mainly are focused around my new baby Oliver. We love to go on walks or go to the park. We love going to the zoo. I am excited to get him to the pool or beach this summer.

What is your favorite movie?

There are so many…I love to watch the old 80’s movies such as sixteen candles or breakfast club. I love all the Marvel movies such as The Avengers, Thor, and Ironman.

What are you most thankful for?

I’m thankful for my family and friends. I’m thankful that my family and friend are healthy.

What is your dream vacation?

Anywhere that involves the ocean and warm weather. I would love to one day go to Hawaii. I have always wanted to travel to Australia with my sister to see the Australian Zoo that was built by Steve Irwin. We love to visit other Zoos in the US. We have only been the Cincinnati Zoo to meet a baby Hippo named Fiona that we found interest in. But we plan on traveling in the next few years to the San Diego Zoo and the Bronx Zoo in New York.

Who would you most like to meet?

My best friend and I would love to meet Jason Momoa one day (he is our favorite J).

News and Notes Updates from Chaplain Michelle Peterson: Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have been working Sundays – Thursdays. Because Heritage Presbyterian Church could no longer provide a Sunday worship option, I decided to continue to provide that service. However, beginning in June, I will no longer facilitate the 10am Sunday chapel service. We are working to phase in Heritage Presbyterian Church back on our campus. While the details are still to be worked out, we will air the pre-recorded service by Heritage on Sundays at 10am. I will continue to maintain a Sunday – Thursday work schedule. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Heritage Presbyterian Church: Heritage Presbyterian Church combined service will take place on Lamson Plaza and the Olive Wood Theater on Sunday, June 6, 2021 at 10am. There will be a sign-up sheet in the library.

A note from our Executive Director: Hello, Good day! I hope everyone is enjoying our most beau琀ful spring 琀me. There’s no be琀er place to be than Wisconsin to appreciate what the spring, summer and fall months bring us. While we had a fairly mild winter, it’s always good to see the birds, buds and blooms among the green 昀elds and grasses and to see the farmers on their tractors, and children playing outside enjoying the warmer breezes. We have a great God who loves us. That is for certain. As we con琀nue to monitor the recommenda琀ons from the CDC and CMS, we focus on the ones speci昀c to health care as we under the con琀nuing care re琀rement community where all levels of con琀nuing care needs can be met within the community. Thank you for your con琀nued support and understanding of the recommenda琀ons these organiza琀ons are encouraging us to uphold as we move through the pandemic. Thankfully, we are opening up more and more and there is de昀nitely light at the end of the tunnel for all of us!

Stay well and God bless, Jeanne Piccione, NHA, Execu琀ve Director
