Don was an avid fisherman and spent hours doing so on his boat. More recently he could be found on the beaches enjoying surf fishing and relaxing. He was a reader and a beautiful writer, especially poetry. Don received his Master of Education from Arizona State University which paved the way to his later in life career as an educator. He proudly gave his all to the children at the Wicomico Middle School as a dedicated English teacher. Don told all of his students, "no one can ever take your education from you". He simply loved to teach.
Don is survived by his beloved partner, Elizabeth L Roy; his two sisters: Donna Ordille and Anna Johnson; and many loving nieces and nephews.
