He married Carol (Jahnke), the love of his life on May 29, 1975. Together they shared 35 years of marriage. Don retired after working 37 years as a millwright for Azco and Miron. He was a loving father and grandfather who enjoyed cheering for the Packers, fishing and hunting, especially with his sons. Don was very proud of his children and grandchildren. He was known for his sense of humor and often the life of the party. Don is loved and will be greatly missed by all. He was a member of the Buchanan Fire Dept., National Rifle Association, St. Aloysius Catholic Church, and Millwright Local Union 1056.
