For many years he preached the word of God through his inspirational sermons. He was a distinguished and proud Veteran, serving with the Navy Seabees in Vietnam.

He enjoyed working in his garden, fishing, bowling, woodworking, building model ships, and completing his jigsaw puzzles. Don also had a special place in his heart; traveling with his wife to Hawaii, New Orleans and other American destinations. Don also had a love of collecting lighthouses and nautical memorabilia.
