He loved spending time with his family.  He also loved to travel and work on cars.  He was comical, was straight to the point, and had a dry sense of humor.

Don loved kids and would take them to the local stores and treat them to candy and other goodies try to make a difference in their lives.

Don was a good provider, and he loved to cut hair.  Once he cut your hair, he was your barber.  He was good with his hands and was always building and fixing things.  He loved to listen to jazz music and the oldies.  His favorite football team was the Dallas "Cowboys".  Most of all Don was known to be a keen observer.  Whatever he said, that was that.
