He eventually retired as a full colonel. Don enjoyed hunting, and loved boating on Hyrum Dam with his family. Later, he took every opportunity to take his grandchildren boating, and was very proud when one of them had success with waterskiing. He also loved reading, especially history and genealogy. Gardening was a favorite pastime. He took particular pride in his tomato plants each summer. Don was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in various callings. He loved the 60th ward and enjoyed his time there. He was a man that lived by the principles of honesty and integrity. He is survived by his four children: Pam (Brad) Russell, Michael (Riki) Pincock, Paige Jensen, and Trish Swanson (Jeff Draper) as well as his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
