Additional Information

Last Known Activity:

I am fully retired. Have worked for various companies since retiring from the Navy in 1987. The best were Lowe's and LifeWay Christian Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention.

I have Peritoneal Mesothelioma which is because of asbestos exposure during my Navy career. The prognosis is 12 to 18 months of quality time.

Other Comments:

Don donated his body for medical research at the University of North Dakota Medical School in Grand Forks, ND in hope of helping to discover a cure for mesothelioma.
