Don’s passion was farming and loved his team of horses (Nigs and Dusty) which he entered into many farm wagon races, horse pulls and parades. After retiring from farming, Don spent many hours riding his lawn mower cutting grass to keep a very meticulous yard and acreage. His hobby was wood working and he created many beautiful wagons and planters that he would give to family and friends.
