Yes, it was confusing in the house with all D's. Don graduated from Purdue University in 1947 with a B.S. in mechanical engineering. He was a Staff Sergeant in the Army. He held numerous engineering positions across the Midwest. In 1969, he moved his family to Little Rock and began working for Jacuzzi brothers and later became president. After becoming bored in retirement, he got his real estate license and later joined his wife's already successful bar-b-que chain Casey's. Although his career and academic accomplishments were many, his true pride was his family. This miracle man, who often astonished doctors, loved running, reading, golfing, fishing, and boating.
