He then worked for Cummins Engine Company in North Charleston, SC until he retired in 1996. Donald enjoyed traveling with his friends and family in his motorhome to favorite places like Tennessee, Wisconsin, and even Canada. He was an avid Braves fan, following them from Milwaukee to Atlanta and hardly ever missing a game on TV. Donald loved to tell a good story and he never met a stranger. He was a happy-go-lucky guy, with a big laugh, and was a great friend to all who knew him.
