Mintz and husband Norman of Wilmington and two grandsons, Bennett Donald Earnhardt and Hudson Peter Earnhardt.
He was “Old Man” to his grandsons and loved them dearly. Don’s main hobby was playing his saxaphone(s), and was an active member of the Gate City Horizons Jazz and Concert Bands in Greensboro, and the Triad Community Band in Rural Hall. Even as a young boy, he was fascinated with technology. That fascination lead him to build his own ham radio, several computers, and become proficient in the use of multiple computer operating systems for the joy of it.
