Don was a graduate of Butler High School, class of 1965. He was a member of the United States Army Reserves and was trained to work on small engines.

Don was happiest working on his farm and spending time with his four children and his true love, Cathy. Don was also an avid snowmobiler and member of the Allegheny Ridge Runners.
Don was known for his life-long friendships, down-to-earth nature, and his great sense of humor all while working incredibly hard at any job needing done.
