Diesel Don was owner and operator of Diesel Don’s LLC for over 20 years. He was an avid boater and loved all things water. If there was a body of water, Don was there. He has traveled all over for work making many special memories and friends. Don would travel to Greece, Puerto Rico and the Bahamas for work. It was very unlikely a marina didn’t know him. When Don wasn’t working on others boats, he would be on the water enjoying his boat “Miss Wendy” with his wife, grandchildren and friends. Everyone who knew Don knew how much his family meant to him. He was so proud of his grandchildren. Don adored his loving wife, Connie, who he was married to for over 53 years. They always loved going out on the water to celebrate the 4th of July, which was also their anniversary. His family will miss him dearly, but will continue to carry on his legacy.
