His hope was in the life, death and resurrection of his personal savior, The Lord Jesus Christ. Most important to Don were faith, family, friends and his God given talents to serve others.

On February 5, 1955, he married the former Dolores Lillevig. Don was a member of Plumbers and Pipefitters Local #357 for 55 years and was employed by R.W. LaPine until his retirement in 1995. Don found pride in his work and providing for his family. During retirement, he enjoyed sports, camping, traveling, mission trips and home building. He also worked for a few years as custodian for Haven Church.
