Automotive family: let's do what we do best - take care of each other. Recently, Donald "Don" Stardy of GLP Automotive in Lake Geneva, WI learned he would be going into a triple-bypass heart surgery on Wednesday, April 23, 2025. Being a one-man shop (well, along with his daughter Dakota as Service Advisor), this type of hardship will be quite a setback for Don Stardy and his family. He will have to drastically minimize the business opening hours, even having to close some, before returning to work after surgery.

To assist with the financial strain of house and shop payments, and certain upcoming medical bills, I have permission to create this GoFundMe to support the Stardy family.

Together, as an industry, we can come together to help relieve the stress and anxiety of the financial pain from this setback.

Don, Melissa, Dakota, and Danielle are a beautiful, very hard-working family who have been doing all the right things to create and run a wonderful business for their family and their community of Lake Geneva. A quick peek at their GLP Automotive website or their Facebook Page and you'll see this family up close and personal.

Thank you for praying, sending well wishes, and helping however you can.
