Don served his country as a member of the United States Army after graduating from Casey High School in 1963. He wore many different hats during his post-army years, including driving a truck (both over-the-road and local construction jobs), and serving as a land agent, negotiating damage payments for pipeline rights-of-way for Marathon Oil Company.
Don was initiated as a founding member of the chapter of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity at Eastern Illinois University in 1994, and was a long-time member of the Casey Masonic Lodge. He was also an avid car racing fan. He loved spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Don was a member of the Casey White Oak Church of God. He enjoyed his regular “poker nights” with his friends, and never cooked a meal that was not delicious. Don will be greatly missed by many.
