Don was selfless. He served God with a passion. The Lord and his family were the most important things in his life. He worked at Dupont for 43 years.

He was also a great chef, and cooking for his family brought him great joy. He truly loved just being with people in general. Don never met a stranger. He had a unique skill that allowed him to water relationships, and those friendships lasted a lifetime.
