After selling interest in Hill Top Farm, Don worked for 17 years judging cattle for the Holstein Association in Brattleboro, VT, traveling across the United States and into Central and South America. In 1993, he and his wife purchased Beaver Bend Par 3 Golf Course in Hummelstown. Don loved working on the golf course and making friends with all the customers. In 2014, they sold the golf course and Don retired.
He is survived by his wife, Dawn M. of Linglestown; sons, Daniel (Julie) of Westfield, MA, and Todd (Janet) also of Westfield, MA; a twin brother, Ronald (Melba) of Malone, NY; sister-in-law, Mable Cook of St. Anicet, Canada; step daughter, Nadine Petrina (Tim) of Hershey; step son, Jeff Daniels (Elizabeth) of Harrisburg; two granddaughters, Kayleigh Paradis of Westfield, MA, and Rachel Petrina of Hershey; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by brothers, Clifford, Norman, Francis, Robert and Richard; and sister, Eunice Bonner, all of New York and Canada.
Don was a thoughtful, generous person who would do anything for anyone. He loved God and took pleasure in talking to others about coming to know the Lord. He was a member of Grace & Truth Bible Church in Hummelstown. His loving spirit and sweet smile will be missed by many on earth, but the Heavens are rejoicing with him.
