Later in life Don and Kay returned to Guttenberg where together they owned and operated the Style Shop on Front Street till their retirement.

Don made countless friends during his years as a teacher and coach, and then as a small business owner. Entertaining family and friends over a glass of homemade wine and a game of cards, which he always seemed to win, was a source of great joy. His 50+ year battle with multiple sclerosis was an inspiration to many. Don so adored his wife, son and daughter-in –law, grandchildren and great grandsons. He will be dearly missed.
