During his banking career, he was an active member of the American Banker's Association, Iowa Banker's Association and Robert Morris Associates. Don enjoyed customer relationships and relished in their successes. For many, he was People's Bank. Don enjoyed hunting, trapping, fishing and all sports. A favorite hobby was entertaining on his pontoon boat on Lake Macbride since 1967.
