Ep. 40 The Don Eustice Story

A local Sheriff who grew up in the community and committed his career to helping the youth of his county, Sheriff Don Eustice served his entire law enforcement career in Waseca County after serving our country in the United States Navy from 1946 to 1948. In a time in the 70's where being Sheriff involved the entire family, Don's family tells the stories of growing up Sheriffs' sons and daughters. Sheriff Eustice, who actually was usually unarmed, was loved in this community and had always been able to talk down every situation - except this time. While trying to help someone struggling who he'd known his entire life, his life was violently cut short leaving behind a stunned community, a beloved wife, and 9 children - all left to figure out how to move on without their beloved Sheriff, husband, and father.
