Don was married to his late wife of more than 50 years, Audrey Johnson. They had a shared several dreams together but one was a dream to have a boat big enough that they could live on. Working together they made this dream a reality. Don was one to show that despite being born in a low income family, Don showed the world that if you can dream it you can bring it into reality.
