They enjoyed raising their children in Millard, NE, where they both actively supported and led many athletic programs. Don dedicated 45 years of his career to the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

Don was known for his sense of humor, dedication to helping others, strong work ethic, and active participation in growing the Millard Athletic Association baseball program. He will be remembered for his quiet, caring spirit, his jokes, and his unwavering devotion to his family.
