Don proudly served our country in the Air Force during the Korean War and worked in the maintenance department at Hiram G. Andrews Center. Don was a lifelong member of St. Anthony’s Church and the Union Social Club. His passions included spending time with his friends, playing cards at Panera daily, listening to live music , meeting at Coney Island, and working the gate at AAABA games, where he left half the town in for free. Donnie was never found without a smile on his face or a joke on his tongue.

He was the best husband, Dad, and friend that anyone could ever wish for. He will be deeply missed by all.
