Donald, affectionately called "Pop", loved his family and was a great dad, granddaddy and brother. In his younger years he enjoyed golf and bowling. Pop lived life to the fullest, making the most of every turn of events. His home was filled with love, laughter, his six children, their friends and there was always room for one more. Donald was widely known as an excellent fisherman and hunter, in fact, his most enjoyable passion was hunting and spending time at the hunting camp. He gave his best to all and always looked for the good in others. Cherished memories of our "Pop" will forever remain in our hearts.
