Don started out helping others with their farming, and later would work as a gas station attendant and in grocery stores either at Humboldt or Johnson. In addition to his work, Don enjoyed hunting and fishing, especially in his younger years.
After his retirement and because of ill health, Don gradually became more confined to his home.
