Don proudly served his country when he enlisted in the Air Force at a young age. After his service, the day came in 1960 when he fell in love and married his sweetheart, Shirley, who predeceased him twenty years ago when they lived in Minnesota. He never remarried ,but did retire back to his Bedford home. Don found a niche in Cobol programming and was sought after by financial institutions for his expertise and skill. He had a virtuous determination and work ethic in his field, and in many other areas of his life. Don was a dedicated and hard-working supporter to his wife and children.

In retirement Don enjoyed his home, his yard, his flowers, and being with his children and grandchildren. He was an avid football enthusiast and you always knew where he was during football season. He was a man of integrity and had a trustworthiness that was to be admired. He enjoyed his family and friends and his beloved beagle "Pretty Girl." All animals were immediately drawn to him. Don spoke often of how very proud and lucky he was to have the kind of family he had in his life. He spoke of his love for his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren until his death.

He will be forever loved and missed.
