Donald was an electrical draftsman and worked for Utility Engineering for over twenty years. Donald was an Eagle Scout and Boy Scout leader for many years and also helped with the Girl Scouts. He loved to go camping and fly fishing in the mountains. After setting up camp, he would walk the circle and make friends with all of the other campers. He never met a stranger. Donald also loved to build and fly remote control airplanes and was also an avid reader and a history buff. He loved to play strategic board games and could make a monopoly game last for weeks, but most of all, Donald loved hanging with his family and grandchildren. He will be greatly missed.
