Don is also survived by daughter Deb Williams of Morgantown, WV, and her family.
A veteran of the US Navy and a graduate of Wilkes University, Don worked for General Motors for 35 years before retiring. During his retirement years, Don was an avid traveler. He traveled 49 of the US states and Canada, and his favorite trips were to warm and sunny Florida.
The family wishes to give grateful acknowledgment to his friends and the staff at Silverwoods in Toms River for their friendship and assistance.
