Donald S. Rimgale, Sr., 77, who was born in Chicago, IL, passed away peacefully at home in Elmhurst, IL, on Monday, November 13, 2017. He was born on August 3, 1940, to Adam Donald and Stella Pearl (Lis) Rimgale.
Don had a long and distinguished career with the Chicago Fire Department, serving for 31 years before retiring in November 1996. During his time with the department, he was an active member of CFD Union Local 2 and held various leadership roles, including Business Agent. He worked with several units, such as Snorkel Squad 2, Flying Squad 3, Squad 4, Squad 5, Engine 88, and the Office of Fire Investigation (OFI). His dedication and service were recognized with multiple commendations throughout his career.
Later, Don became a volunteer firefighter with the Sandwich Fire Department, where he served as a chief and contributed greatly to the community he called home. After undergoing aggressive cancer treatment, he retired from the Sandwich Fire Department in July 2016.
One of the most unique chapters of Don’s life began during his work as an arson investigator with the OFI. His real-life experience inspired Robert DeNiro’s character, Inspector Don Rimgale, in the 1991 film *Backdraft*. Don made his acting debut in the movie with small speaking parts and was even credited in the closing credits. This led him to join the Screen Actors Guild, secure an agent, and continue auditioning for roles in film and television.
Throughout his acting career, Don appeared in several notable films, including *Baby’s Day Out*, *Gladiator*, *Chain Reaction*, *The Fugitive*, *Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Part Two: Mask of Sanity*, and *Under the Bus*. He also made appearances on TV shows like *The Untouchables*, *Missing Persons*, *Angel Street*, *Early Edition*, *Legacy of Lies*, and *Polish Hill*. Don was a guest on major television programs, including *The Oprah Winfrey Show*, *Good Morning America*, and *Entertainment Tonight*.
He is survived by his wife, Sharon (nee Klug) Rimgale, whom he married 30 years ago; his sister Barbara of Orlando, FL; his brothers Ron (Bernie) of Nashville, TN, and Adam, Jr. of Tucson, AZ; his children Becky Mannarelli, Donald “Donn†Rimgale, Jr., Roxanne (Tim) Gardner, Rachel Rimgale, Staff Sergeant Robert Rimgale (retired), and Staff Sergeant Timothy (Brittany) Rimgale, who is currently serving in the U.S. military; his grandchildren Mike Mannarelli, Ryan Rotter, Griffin and Simon Gardner, and Abigale Rimgale; as well as many nieces and nephews.
Don was predeceased by his beloved son, Daniel, who passed away at age 6, and his grandson Jonathan, also at age 6, along with his parents.
A memorial service to celebrate his life will be held at the Sandwich Fire Department, located at 310 E. Railroad St., Sandwich, IL, starting at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 25. A visitation will begin at 1:00 p.m. Cards of condolence can be sent to the family through Beverage Family Funeral Home at 104 Terry Street, Sandwich, IL.
