On June 15, 1968, he married the love of his life, Alice (Pless) Booth, in Youngstown, NY, beginning a beautiful marriage filled with love, devotion and cherished memories and had two beautiful children.

Don began his working career as a roofer in his younger years before joining Occidental Chemical Corporation, where he worked as a Chemical Treatment Specialist.
