Don was a true family man who enjoyed traveling, fishing, gardening, yard work, dogs, and shooting. He was a paramedic for Bourbonnais, Riverside, St. Mary’s, Alverno, IMH, Pro Ambulance, and Arrow EMS for 48 years. A colleague remembered Don as “one of the best paramedics I’ve ever worked with. He performed … one of the most amazing intubation on a friend … during a crash that I know saved her life and very few paramedics could’ve accomplished.”
