Don could never stay idle so in his final retirement years he contributed to multiple charitable activities including habitat for humanity, counseling for young entrepreneurs, volunteer work at the Village Presbyterian Church, and an ambassador at St. Joseph Medical Center to name a few. Don was an intelligent, proud, caring, efficient, and well liked man. He enjoyed vacationing and spending quality time with his family, socializing with their many friends, traveling, golf, tennis, and playing duplicate bridge.

He was a great husband, father, grandfather, and provider for his family. His life evolved around Joyce, the most important person in his life. Don was always available to offer his guidance, wisdom, and love whenever needed to his family and friends.

He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. A memorial service will be held at 10:00 AM on Friday, October 19, 2018 at the Village Presbyterian Church 6641 Mission Rd. Prairie Village, Kansas 66208, followed by a reception at the church.
