He was a hard and honest worker and retired from Georgia Pacific after 37 years of service. He and Myra liked going on scenic drives through the country. Don was a huge fan of the Detroit sports teams, the Lions and the Tigers. When it came to sports, he also enjoyed bowling, golfing and muscle cars. He liked listening to the music of the Drifters.
