He loved the time he spent with his wife of 65 years working on and enjoying the farm and the trips they took. He was proud of his children and their accomplishments. He and his sons spent many years farming together. He delighted in the antics of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and attended many of their events. Don had a fondness for his antique Farmall tractors and Model A Ford. He enjoyed his morning coffee time with the regulars at Bozarth's Country Store discussing the problems of the world and gently harassing each other. He will be greatly missed by his family.
