Don was born September 17, 1943. He spent his childhood in Montrose, MO with five of his siblings where he learned the value of a hard days work. In 1963 he married Barbara Simmons and together raised two wonderful children, Michael and Lori.

Don was a perfectionist who took pride in everything he did, from the beauty of his and Barb’s yard to his ability to fix anything.
