Don had a passion for numbers and he started his accounting career at D.R.

Don was an active member of the St. Paul's United Methodist Church and served on numerous committees since 1962. Don was involved in the Boy Scouts of America and was a presiding cub master from 1967-1968. Don was most proud of his involvement with Cancer Patient Services where he was a board member for more than 20 years. Don was a "numbers guy" and was skillful in his investments, but he also had said he enjoyed "going to the farm, and just driving the tractor".
