Donald graduated from nursing school in 1985 and worked as a Registered nurse since 1986.

In 1986 he took a job as a Nurse at Kennedy Hospital and two years later he was promoted to the Manager at Kennedy’s ER. He also worked as Paramedic for Underwood Memorial Hospital. He continued working in the Medical Field up until his retirement. 

Throughout the years, Don had a lot of Hobbies, some of which included coaching both his kids sports teams. Whether he was a coach or fan, Don would never miss a game for either of his children. He enjoyed hanging with his friends at the Knights of Columbus, being as he was a 4th degree and active member of the Gloucester City Knights of Columbus Council # 674. Don enjoyed shooting pool and hanging with his friends at the Franklinville VFW. But above all things Don did, what he enjoyed to do the most was ride his motorcycle and spend his time with his buddies of the POW MIA MC. He served as the clubs Vice President and was lovingly known as U-Turn in the motorcycle community, a name which he loved and wore with pride. Every Christmas he loved playing Santa for all the children at St. John God school. 

Don will be remembered for not just one thing but for the multitude of hats he wore—he was a husband, a father, a son, a brother, and a friend to everyone he encountered and even though his ride here is over, he’ll now be riding that big orange trike in the sky with Karen on the backseat.
