Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Don loved his wife Joan, his family, his friends, and his church because he loved and served God. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on February 18, 1931. He died in Kindred Hospital, Rivera Beach on May 6, 2024 at the age of 93.
He was a fourth-generation railroader. He started as a clerk for the Pennsylvania Railroad and quickly moved to his favorite management position as a Train Master for the largest railyard in Conway, Pennsylvania. Don retired from Conrail after 37 years of service.

He volunteered for Habitat for Humanity in Vero Beach, working on Grace Grove. In 2008, he was a recipient of the President’s Volunteer Service Award.
