Donald taught in the business department and was a favorite among many of his students. His former students often remark that he made learning fun. In his retirement, he enjoyed reading, spending time with his family, and following the Yankees. He was a member of Asbury United Methodist Church, Forestville. He will be greatly missed and will be fondly remembered for his friendly manner and great sense of humor.
