Donald's father passed when he was only 4 years old. His mother remarried Clifford Hain who raised him as his own.

Donald then married the love of his life, Dianne Marie Stewart, July 30, 1966 in Kirkwood, MO. They were married for 49 wonderful years before her passing in 2015. He enjoyed being outdoors fly-fishing and hunting in his younger days. He also like to barbecue and feed the squirrels and foxes that would come and visit him in his backyard. He spent time every week volunteering at St John's Lutheran Church with anything they needed. Dianne and Donald were long time members.
