On August 12, 1956, they were married at the same church where they met. Their happy and God centered marriage lasted sixty-five years.

He performed at numerous piano concerts throughout the Atlanta area and sang tenor as a member of the Atlanta Choral Guild. He served on the board of the local Elks International and was an officer at the local Lion’s International Club. After moving to McMinnville, TN in 2019, he became a member of the Exchange Club.

At the time of his passing, Don was a member of the Central Church of Christ in McMinnville, TN. The family would like to express it's gratitude to the Central Church of Christ members for their love, acts of kindness, and support.

While Don’s presence will be greatly missed, we rejoice in knowing he fought the good fight. He will receive his reward when the Lord says “Welcome home my good and faithful servant”.
