He volunteered as a Red Vest at Provena Medical Center, which he truly loved and was loved by all, but he had to finally give it up due to his health. When you talk about a Die Hard Cub fan, Don was one. This was passed on to him from his mother. He loved and played softball until he was 42. When he was younger he coached little league. He loved to golf, bowl and was an avid Illini fan and enjoyed life to the fullest. Don was a member of the Hope United Church of Christ where he took an active part and will be greatly missed by his church family. The family asked that memorials be made to the Hope United Church of Christ. Arrangements by Sunset Funeral Home & Cremation Center.
