(Wilson) Landman; Beloved husband of 52 years to Jean M. (Kubachka) Landman; Loving father of Lisa A. (Greg) Edwards of State College, PA and Julie A. (Tony) Trayter of Hopwood, PA; grandfather of Jackson(18) and Ava (12) Edwards and Zachary (14) Trayter; Brother of Nancy (Joe) Demniak of Durham, NC and Patty (Bob) Payne of Masontown, PA; brother-in-law of Joyce (Steve) Houff of Williamsburg, VA and Susan (Donald) Stalnaker of Uniontown, PA, uncle of Jason (Kim) Brauns of Blacksburg, VA and Dustin (Meghan) Stalnaker of Rochester, NY. Don was pre-deceased by his inlaws, John F. and Stella J. Kubachka of Uniontown and brother-in-law, Lloyd Maust, Jr. of Uniontown. Don was a graduate of California University of PA where he had received a scholarship to play football after high school. He served his country in the Air Force during the Vietnam War and played baseball, football, and basketball while in the service for the base team at Williams Air Force Base in Maricopa County, near Chandler, AZ. He married the love of his life, Jean, as he liked to call her and they lived together there while she taught elementary school until their return to Pennsylvania in late 1970. In 1975, he completed his college degree after returning from the service. He was an American History, Government, and World Cultures teacher at Laurel Highlands Junior High and then High School where he retired after 30 years of teaching service. He served as the LH Fillies Girls' fast-pitch Softball Team during the 1980s, joyfully coaching many young women and including his daughters in the experience. Beloved and remembered by so many former students, players, and colleagues who he always took time to visit with when they crossed paths. Don (Jake, Mr. Landman, and any other nickname that he answered to) could rarely go anywhere locally without running into a former student or long-time friend smiling and happy to see him. Known by so many people growing up in Mt. Independence, attending North Union High School, serving as a long-time member of the Uniontown Free Methodist Church, and as an avid and talented golfer and life member of Duck Hollow (Colonial) Golf Course. He treasured his wife, daughters, sons-in-law, 3 wonderful grandchildren, and extended family. He was very close to his two sisters and husbands and his wife's families, as well. His daughters will always have happy memories of growing up with him making every event special and memorable. Known as "Pap" to his grandchildren, he adored each of them tremendously and they knew his love. Pap spent special time with each grandchild every time he was with them. He lived his life with genuine kindness and generosity for everyone. He was friendly and made people feel special, often with a unique and embraced nickname. He lived simply but was rich in a life full of no regrets, no bitterness, and no judgements. He was accepting,  supportive and helpful with a great, infectious laugh, a gift for singing old songs and hymns, and for treating everyone with respect and integrity. Children loved his presence, at 6"3' he was a gentle giant, and they knew it and adored him. He will be missed and remembered fondly by so many. His wife, Jean, was truly his best friend and they were fortunate to retire together and spend every day together. Thank you to all who befriended him and knew him. He was truly a man to remember and larger than life in every way. He loved the Lord and loved life and he would only want those he knew to remember him with a smile and a good story.
