Donald grew up very poor and worked hard to help his family make ends meet. He had various paper routes as a young boy until he was hired by Skiff's Dairy to peddle milk. Anyone close to Don, knew how proud he was of that job and how much the Skiff family did for him when he was a young boy.
Donald graduated from Gloversville High School in 1955. He played both basketball and football at the varsity level and still talked about how he played offense and defense and the various feats of many of his teammates.
Shortly after graduation, Don was hired by City National Bank, where he worked for the next 45 years.

Don also served in the New York Army National Guard for 3 years and was on active duty in the United States Air Force during 1961 and 1962.

Don was a hardworking provider for his family and gave his children a beautiful home and wonderful memories.
On August 23, 1996, Donald married Margaret (King) Hallenbeck of Mayfield, NY.
Don and Margaret spent many years traveling between New York and Florida before buying a home there and becoming "snowbirds." They enjoyed many years in the sun, developing friendships with people from all over the United States and Canada, before moving home permanently in 2020 when Don's health declined. Don was able to remain at home with Margaret's loving care until January 2, 2022.
