Don was a loving husband to his wife, Jerry. He was a devoted father to their three children, Don, Steve, and Teri. He took great pride in his business, Adding Machine Service and Sales, in downtown Indianapolis. Don's life was marked by his commitment to his family. They enjoyed many camping trips to Lake Cumberland, Kentucky and winter getaways to Treasure Island, Florida. They we joined every year by their children and their families. They spent many great days on the beach and then evening family dinners.

In one of the last conversations he had with his son Don, he summed it all up by telling him "We did it our way," and they did.

Don is survived by his children, Don (Jo-Ann) Durbin, Steve (Kathy) Durbin, and Teri (Blake) Parkman; grandchildren, Brian, Shawn, Emily, Adam, Jason, Kyle, Cody, Zach, and Alex; great-grandchildren, Kashden, Parker, and Rowan; sister, Marilyn Feltman; and sister-in-laws, Joanne Durbin and Pennie (Jim) Nossett.
