A United States Navy veteran, he attended Hammond High School where he ran track under Coach Whitey Wansowitz and then went on to run track at Western Michigan University at Kalamazoo, Michigan.

In July 1956, he married Patricia Garrison and worked in Indiana and Ohio for many years before moving to Florida.  Don was the happiest when he entered the sales field, calling on customers and writing up orders.  He worked for several different companies and was successful in various markets.  His outgoing personality aligned naturally for a fulfilling career in the sales industry.

He was the "King" of the pool at Hacienda, enjoyed working out, and going to the beach his entire life. Don enjoyed watching the NFL, college football and Major League Baseball.
