After a few years he accepted a position with HL&P/Reliant Energy. He had a love for the electrical/technical field. Those work friends he continued to stay in touch with till the very end. He was a self-learner and would always ask if "we read the instructions". His class of 1969 held so many memories, reunions every 5 years and then every 2 years. Everyone just wanted those lasting friendships.He enjoyed spending time with his fishing, domino buddies, loved dancing and the neighbors he saw come and go as the family lived on the same street since 1975. Donald and Shirley planned to travel more, but that was not meant to be. If anyone needed any sort of help, he was always available. He gave of himself and never asked for anything in return.
