He was a longtime member of Patterson Park Church in Beavercreek where he served as a Deacon, taught Sunday School and led small groups at the church. Don also attended the Island Baptist Church on Anna Maria Island during the winter months. One of his greatest joys was spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren.
