He attended Westville Schools graduating in 1952. After high school he enlisted in the U.S. Navy. Don started his career at McMasters Chevrolet in Georgetown, IL and later went to work at Eureka Printing for 21 years in Danville. He then went to work for Quaker Oats Co. in Danville where he was a Maintenance Supervisor, retiring in 1997 after 23 years of service.

Don was a Jack of all trades. He was a passionate man and would go out of his way to help others. He was smart, funny and quite the jokester. He liked fishing, watching Nascar and Football. He also liked spending time in the garage working on cars but especially enjoyed when family and friends would stop by and drink a cold one. His greatest joy in life was his family. He will be deeply missed.
