Don McGuire

by K. Lusk

Memorial Service celebrating the life of Don McGuire will be held Thurday, August 9th, at St. Thomas Church at 4 p.m. Donald D. McGuire, 83, husband of Laura, and and an active member of St. Thomas Church, died unexpectedly Saturday evening at Taylor Regional Hospital, Campbellsville, after becoming ill at home earlier that evening. Don was a native of Louisville, where he was baptized, confirmed and grew up in St. Mark's Church on Frankfort Avenue. He served a total of six years in the United States Army Air Corps and the United States Air Force during WW II and the Korean Conflict. Don attended the University of Louisville, University of Texas, and graduated from the University of Kentucky in 1956. He then began over 24 years of service with the U.S. Dept. of Defense Map Service as a cartographer. Don was responsible for producing maps used by U.S. astronauts for the first lunar landing. After retirement, he and Laura moved to Boone, NC, and lived there until four years ago when they relocated to Campbellsville at the suggestion of St. Thomas parishioners and good friends Dick and Joan Kirzinger. A service of remembrance and thanksgiving was held at 4 PM on Thursday, August 9, at St. Thomas Church, with the Revs. Karl Lusk and Louise Mann officiating. Contributions are suggested to St. Thomas Church, the American Heart Association, or the American Diabetes Foundation. The homily for the memorial Service can be read on the "Parson's Ponderings" page.
