Don had a love for fishing and spending time at his fishing camp, Don’s Post Time in Delacroix Island. Don also enjoyed building and remodeling old homes by rehabilitating historic architecture. Growing up on Mazant St. in New Orleans, he starred at Bunny Friend Baseball and took great pleasure in watching his grandson play baseball and his granddaughters perform and compete with their dance and cheer teams.
