A farmer at heart, Don maintained his love of farming and registered Angus cattle throughout his life. To pay the bills, he worked at Vernay Laboratories in Yellow Springs.

Don was blessed with seven grandchildren, Whitney, David Jr., Ashley, Allison, Christopher, Nicholas, and Katherine and great-grandsons, Hayden and Riley.
