He is survived by his sister Barbara Collins, children Keith (Colleen), Denise (John), Jay (Lorraine), and Don Jr (Kelly), his grandchildren: Amanda, Scott, Alex, Brandon, Kristin, Shelby, Jordan, Jade, Jasmine, 6 great-grandchildren, and an amazing amount of friends and acquaintances who will miss his beautiful soul immensely.

Don had a long and very active life! He worked at Eastman Kodak Company for 38 years, and served in the U.S. Army, stationed in Kaiserslautern, from 1956-1958. After retiring from Kodak, Don worked at the Redman’s Club for a number of years before becoming a crossing guard for School Number 7 in Rochester. He crossed his beloved children for 25 years, right up to late in the 2024-25 school year!

Don really did live a life of service to others. He volunteered for both Lifetime Care, and Honor Flight. He was also a PacTac volunteer, working with the Rochester Police Department to keep his neighborhood safe.

Don had numerous activities he enjoyed, including bowling with Carol back in the day. He enjoyed square dancing with Carol, and continued square dancing right up to this summer with both Silver Squares and Copy Cats square dance clubs. He also kept active in his later years going to the Silver Sneakers program at the YMCA. Don was also a Rochester Red Wings season ticket holder for many years!

When spending cozy time at home, he enjoyed cross stitch, word search puzzles, and game shows on TV.

Don also believed in service to his Church. He was an active parishioner at Reformation Lutheran Church for many years, and more recently at Our Savior Lutheran Church.

Don, with his vibrant spirit and radiant smile, will be missed by family, many friends, and anyone who ever knew him!
