He was a family man who loved to be surrounded by his kids, grandchildren and extended family. The more the merrier...
Don had varied jobs in his earlier years, and in most recent years was self-employed, running a local business in Lake Country, Don's Bobcat.
Don was a dreamer, always eager to make plans for the next big family adventure or getaway. He loved his tools and always had a project on the go, forever looking to recruit helpers, which was usually one of his daughters.
Don loved gold panning at the family claim on the Kettle River. He spent many hours panning for gold, always searching for that "Big Nugget".
Don's journey continues on......
