He was a jack of all trades and could do absolutely anything. Don also served his community as a member of the Westville Public Schools Board for 10- plus years. 1 Cor. 13:8 Love never fails…

He enjoyed many hobbies including fishing, hunting and watching western movies. Playing cards with his family was one of his favorite things. Don loved life and his family to the fullest.
