In his free time, he was an avid reader, sports enthusiast (New York Yankees, New York Giants, and NASCAR), golfer, and bowler. It was through a bowling league where he met the love of his life, Maureen. Together, they raised two children, Heather and Kevin, who he was exceptionally proud of and was always their biggest supporter.
Upon his well deserved retirement, Don enjoyed taking various trips- especially to Disney,
golfing, playing shuffleboard, bike riding, and making wood crafts. His favorite time though wasspending quality time with Maureen, his children, and his friends, all of whom will miss him terribly.
