Donald Cleveland, 86, passed away Monday, November 9, 2015 in Perrysburg, Ohio. Don was born September 27, 1929 to Stanley and Edna (Peters) Cleveland in Amboy, IL. He graduated from R.T.H.S. in 1947 and from the University of Illinois in 1953 with degrees in business and accounting. Don was a veteran of the United States Army. He worked for Cargill Grain for many years. He was preceded in death by his sister, Dolores Ball; sister-in-law, Judith Cleveland and brother-in-law, Dale Stein.
Don was an avid collector of anything to do with transportation, with trains being his priority. He enjoyed going to estate sales to find some of the " nicer" things of which he did! Don also had a great interest in old cars and had owned several Cadillacs over the years, including a 1949 and a 1955. Travel was a great enjoyment of his and always had something good to say about his travels and the people he met along the way. Bon voyage, Don
