Together with his wife, Kay, they successfully showed horses and goats for many years. Don previously worked for H.P. Hood in Vernon, NY for more than 40 years, retiring as a fleet maintenance manager. Don was a very loving husband and father. He was extremely proud of his children and cherished all the special times spent with his grandchildren. He will be greatly missed.
