Born and raised in the Holland area, Don's entire life revolved around farming.  He attended Holland School till Grade 7, and with the grades he presented, his father told him you might as well stay home and go to the barn.

If he wasn't farming, Don enjoyed playing cards, attending senior hockey games, daily coffee shop visits and fishing with friends.  He was a "well known" local historian and story teller.  He seemed to know people wherever he and Angele travelled.  His grandsons and great grandchildren were of great joy to him.

For the last 4 years, Don lived in the Notre Dame Foyer where he made new friendships with staff and other residents.  He made the most of his time there, enjoying the activities and outings.
