Don was a history buff spending plenty of time reading and watching anything about the Civil War, WWII and devoured practically any annals of antiquity. In his free time, he also enjoyed time with his kids, grandkids, and found his own child like passion for cycling late in life.

Don is survived by Beverly Gay and their three kids, Bob Gay and wife Traci, Greg Gay and wife Sheila, and Terri Sutek and her husband Eric, as well as several grand and great-grand kids.

A small private funeral will be held at Barrancas cemetery at NAS for family only.
