Don enjoyed the outdoors (hunting or just tinkering in the yard), sporting events of his grandkids: Josh (Helen) & Morgan White, Jordan & Taylor Anderson, Hawaii, auto racing, the Vikings & was an avid reader of WW II history. Don was generous, with strong beliefs, honesty & character. He never loved retirement, he always wanted "something to do." Don loved joking around with people & shooting the breeze with friends.
