Don entered the U.S. Army on March 15, 1951 serving in Korea. He was honorably discharged on December 14, 1952. On June 17, 1952 he was united in marriage to Marie Kohtz while still serving in the Army. Following the military, they moved to Grand Island. This union was blessed with children, Katherine, Patricia, Timothy and Scott. Don worked for the Grand Island Fire Department and then became a truck driver, driving for various companies. He retired from Roadway Transportation. After retiring, they spent 16 winters in Apache Junction where they kept busy in their retirement community. When health issues kept them from traveling, they made their home at The Grand Island Good Samaritan Society, and later at Heritage at Sagewood. His memberships included the VFW, American Legion, and Trinity Lutheran Church. Some of Don’s enjoyments included pheasant hunting, working on vehicles and following retirement he loved woodworking. Don was proud to have received his GED in 1982. Growing up on the farm, he always had farming in his blood.
