For the past 40 years, he and his wife, Linda, the love of his life, owned and operated Warren’s Dog and Hunting Supplies located in Pactolus, NC. Donald enjoyed coon hunting and working with his dogs. According to him, his coon dogs were the best around. He enjoyed all the visitors to his shop and listening to all of their coon hunting stories and jokes. He had a tremendous sense of humor, and his favorite times were making people laugh. The most important people in his life were his wife, children and grandchildren. He was never hesitant to brag about how well they were doing and the successes they were having in their lives. Donald and Linda were married for 57 years. They have 3 beautiful daughters and 5 grandchildren. One of his greatest pleasures was spending time with each of them.
