He had a strong faith, with God being a central part of his life. An avid reader, Donald loved books and often read multiple at a time, averaging about 100 books a year. Hockey was a sport that brought great joy to Donald; he enjoyed watching as well as playing hockey over the years.

His children were the center of his world, and he adored his sons. Donald was also a proud American. Among his many fond memories was the funny but proud accomplishment of teaching his niece, Bianca, how to belch the entire alphabet.
