He began his 34 year career with Mobil Oil in 1952 and soon after married Donna Murphy of Neville, SK on August 5, 1953. They called many places in Saskatchewan and Alberta home over the years with Don covering many miles in both provinces during that time.
Retirement brought them to Kelowna in 1986. They became original members of the Sunset Ranch Golf & Country Club, where they both enjoyed the camaraderie of many friends. Don loved to golf and continued to play into his 90’s. In addition to golf, Don curled and as a young man played baseball in Saskatchewan.
