They have 12 wonderful grand kids and 8 sweet great grand kids and many more family members and friends. Don was proud of his family and loved every one of them dearly. His main occupation was a carpenter. His hobbies included spending time with his wife and family, gardening, reading westerns such as Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour. He was a man of faith and his kindness, unconditional love, integrity, and passion for his family is immeasurable. He instilled wonderful family love and traditions in his family and was their idol.
