Don was always ready, willing and able to help others who would call upon him for help and advice. He looked forward to breakfast with friends at Barnhart’s and, most especially, family gatherings. Don enjoyed traveling and always cherished the memories of his trip to Europe with his son on the Band of Brothers Tour. He loved his pets and enjoyed the company of his most recent dog, Claire.
