Don was a man of faith who cherished his time with his family. He was a 3rd Degree Knight with The Knights of Columbus for 42+ years, and an Honorary Member as of 2016. Don had a passion for football and applied that to coaching youth football within the local community and schools. For over 25 years you could find Don working at the Indianapolis Speedway for the big race events. He enjoyed long road trips with Theresa, Friday nights at the horse races with family, summer evenings on the deck, watching Sunday football in his recliner, the infamous games of Left, Right, Center at family holidays, and always reminding the grandchildren to “shut the d*mn door!” He will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
