Don loved all Pittsburgh sports, and he had a special affinity for the game of golf, even caddying at Oakmont Country Club in the 1962 US Open. A lifelong learner, Don was a gifted conversationalist who was always genuinely interested in others' stories.

I could never thank Don enough. Back in the late 1980's, he gave me a chance to work for him which allowed me to attend daily Mass, but also to spend the final years of my mothers life to be able to be near her daily as well. my thanks to all of the family for making that possible, and so much more. Christianity practiced, May God bless him, and all the family as well.
