He graduated from Milford High School. On July 18, 1968, Don was married to Connie Jo Willison in Milford. They farmed near Milford and raised their three children, Lori, Leah and Brian. Don supported the FFA, American Legion, NRA and Pheasants Forever. Don collected guns, enjoyed gardening, fireworks, John Deere tractors, ground roast sandwiches, oreo cookies and coke. He was known to be mischievous and he liked hog roasts, sledding parties, camping and fishing with friends and enjoyed having morning coffee at Boji Junction and Shucks.
