He was a lover of the outdoors especially fishing and camping. He loved his dog Sydney and was once featured in the Lifestyle section of the Salt Lake Tribune with a photo of Sydney and Don playing catch.
Don was married to Judy, the love of his life, on November 23, 1963 and remained married until her death in 2014. Although he was not a big fan of getting his photo taken, he was a very handsome man!

Don worked as a bail bonds man at Beehive Bail Bonds, and also performed large machinery maintenance at NL, AMAX and Yankee Candle Company. He also worked for the National Parks and Recs at Capitol Reef as well as performed maintenance at several local apartment communities, before retiring when he was diagnosed legally blind.
