Don worked as a roofer and as a construction foreman for many years. He worked for John G. Miller Construction Company in Waterloo, IA and was proud to have worked on the UNI-Dome and Nazareth Evangelical Lutheran Church, both located in Cedar Falls, IA. Don enjoyed fishing, playing cards and watching the Hawkeyes. He was a fine cook and spent many enjoyable hours planning meals, grilling and frying chicken. He made delicious homemade soups and had a special way with Sunday night popcorn. His talent will be missed by all!
