He lived with a wonderful family (The Stultzs) in South Portland from the ages of 2 – 7. They treated him as one of their own. 

He graduated from Bristol High School, Bristol, Maine in 1967, as Class President; and then went on to graduate from UMO in 1972. Upon graduating, he started a career at CMP that lasted 37 years. He was a devoted employee that respected the company. He was a practical and even-tempered man., but also kind, caring and compassionate.

His summers were spent in Pemaquid at “camp”. He loved the ocean and his boat, The Daisy K, and the nine winters that he stayed in St. Croix with his wife after retirement. He was a wonderful husband, father, brother, son and friend. 

Don was predeceased by his mother, father and step-father, Leonard Osier; his half-sister, Judy; and his Shitzu, Tess.
