Most know Don as a die-hard Chicago Cubs fan and IU basketball fanatic. He enjoyed watching a variety of sports, and always made sure to keep the officials in line.
Many who spent time with him also know that even more than sports, he loved his family. He loved to show off their pictures and tell their stories.
Whether it was a sporting event, dance recital, drama or musical production, he could be found sitting in the stands or along the sidelines if one of his children or grandchildren was involved.
This love of family started with loving the girl he shamelessly pursued in high school until they married nearly fifty-seven years ago. Together they nurtured three children, influenced six grandchildren and spoiled three great grandchildren.
