Don worked for Toshiba and had to travel to Japan where he absolutely hated the food. He later worked security for the City of Homewood Park and Recreation. Don was a resident of Gardendale. Don was a great cook, and you haven’t had steak until you’ve had steak cooked by Don.

He is survived by his wife of 20 years, Sheila Douglas Waldrep, two brothers, Eddie (Brenda) and Jerry (Joy), one sister, Teresa Griffin (Ben), Sister-in-law, Joyce Franklin (Mike).
