Donald retired from Pepsi Cola after 35 years. He loved the outdoors, hunting, and going on fishing trips with his friends. A master of charcoal, Don refused to cook on a gas grill. A tradition and skill passed on to his son Jeff. Don was an avid NASCAR fan and enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren. He loved going to his grandkids’ sporting events and was known to visit the concession stand multiple times for hot dogs, popcorn and snickers or ice cream. He will be dearly missed.
