He loved the thrills of four wheeling in Slick Rock country. Don loved his family and enjoyed having everyone to their home, where he demonstrated his cooking prowess.

He and Sue recently built a lovely new home where Don showed all his creative energy and design/decorating talents. He could build and fix anything.
