Upon retirement, Don and Toni moved to Great Falls, Montana to enjoy their golden years together.
Don was an avid hunter and fisherman, two things taught to him by his favorite Uncle Al, and he in turn shared that love with his children and grandchildren. He also loved to drive and would often take cross country trips to see family and friends.
