Don joined the Navy in 1953 and saw Korea. He worked with CNAV and Dockyard until he retired. In Penticton he skated with the Penticton Flying V's, played baseball then Softball. He was President of Stuffy McGinnis before he started to umpire. He enjoyed golfing, watching football and cards with his friends Emil, Bob, Ernie and Jim but especially loved his dog(s) Cali.
