He worked at Sun Microsystems for approximately 18 years and left as an Account Manager. Don's hobbies included: metal detecting, riding his Harley with various motorcycle clubs, collecting coins, sports memorabilia, playing tennis, bowling and spending time volunteering. For Don, there was no such thing as being a stranger. He made friends everywhere he went. If he wasn't trying to feed you with his homemade cooking, he was telling a great story. He was known for being friendly, kind-hearted, outgoing, incredibly generous, with an infectious smile and laugh. Don was greatly loved by his friends and family. He is survived by his wife, Maria; children, Jonathan, Loriana and Heather; and grandchildren, Rubiana, Anthony, Kadec, and Mason. A celebration of life will be held in the Spring.
