Don was a very talented musician. He loved playing the drums and singing. Don was a big foodie, and he was always happy to see his grandchildren. He loved joking around with people, giving them funny nicknames, but Don laughed the hardest at his own jokes. Don will be terribly missed by his beloved family.
