He served in the USAF from 1958-1962 and rejoined the family farming operation for four years upon his end of tour in the Air Force.

He then relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area to work for United Airlines, and eventually retired from United after 33 years.

Don is survived by his children Tom (Michele), Tamara (Tom C.), Tim (Paula), and Joe. His 6 grand children and 4 great grand children were a joy in his life.
