He has had green houses, & loves to raise all different vegetables, from a seed & let them grow. He loved gambling. Las Vegas was his favorite place to vacation. He played & won at Bingo & horse racing. Being from New York he loved the Saratoga race track. Don, would do anything for his family. If you called him he would be there. The last years of his life he moved to Utah. It has been his home since 1997. He was comfortable in his house, taking care of the lawn, garden, & remodeling. Every place he went he would make a friend, even at Wal-Mart. He was a true Westerner. He loved old Western music & all the old Western movies. John Wayne was his favorite. He will be greatly missed for his love, & his talents. We love you Dad, & Grandpa.
