Don was born in Watsontown, PA on July 23, 1940 to the late Harold D. and A. Mae (Tyson) Keiser.
Don had several careers starting as a barber in Paxtang. He was also a supervisor in the trucking industry as well as with American Steel and Aluminum in Middletown from which he retired.

During his lifetime he loved spending time with his family.
