He attended Crown Point High School in Indiana and obtained his business degree from the University of Hawaii in 1955. Following college he served in the Naval Reserve. Don began his career with Standard Oil Company of California (later known as Chevron) in Honolulu, Hawaii. He worked for them for 32 years – the latter ten years being in Fullerton, California. Don and his wife Judy were married 52 years ago in Honolulu and enjoyed living on Maui and Oahu . Don lived in the Islands for 30 years. In 1988 he retired to beautiful Evergreen, Colorado. Don had a keen interest in sports throughout his life, his greatest passion being baseball of which he was offered a scholarship to play for the University of Hawaii. He was active for many years at the former Evergreen Athletic Club – working out and playing racquet sports.
