Services have been scheduled for 1:00 p.m. Wednesday, August 15, 2012 at Hampton Vaughan Funeral Home Chapel. Entombment with full military honors will follow at Crestview Memorial Park.

Don was born December 16, 1919 in Medford, OK to Edward D. and Sibby E. (Cravens) Northcutt. He proudly served our country in the United States Air Force during WWII and the Korean Conflict, retiring after 20 years.

He was an amateur HAM Radio Operator providing support for the Hotter-Than-Hell 100 Bicycle Ride and the local storm spotters. He was a member of Floral Heights United Methodist Church.
