Don was a friendly outgoing guy who loved spending time listening to traditional country music, loved to sing, dance, and play his guitar. He loved to ride motorcycles and enjoyed spending time at his place at Lake Eufaula with his family and friends. He loved catering to his constant companion, "Molly" and could be seen cruising the streets with her head hanging out and walking the town square. He loved telling "stories" and everyone enjoyed listening to him. He loved to be referred to as "handsome grandfather." He was always ready to have his picture taken! He always had a smile on his face and had a positive attitude and will be missed more than words can describe.
