Donald's Story

Donald is from Richmond, Virginia. He is widowed. His wife (previously Mary Elizabeth Tepper - also Class of 1963) and high school sweetheart, passed away on 26 August 2015 of Ovarian Cancer after their 47 years of marriage. She fought the cancer for 18 months but it won the battle. They had six children (4 girls, 2 boys). Two born in Virginia, two born in Alaska and two born in New York City. Donald now has eight grand-children with two more expected in 2016. He graduated from Smithdeal Massey Business College with a degree in Junior Accounting in 1965. In lieu of being drafted in the Army he joined the U.S. Coast Guard. He spent 29 years, 3 months and 3 days with the Coast Guard retiring as a Chief Warrant Officer 4 (Finance & Supply). During his service he was involved in saving 487 lives; which he is very proud of that accomplishment. He's traveled throughout the United States (only state not visited is Rhode Island), lived in Virginia, Oklahoma, California, New York, Wisconsin, Alaska (three times) and North Carolina (twice). He had the opportunity of foreign travels to: Russia, Japan, New Zealand, Tahiti, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Newfoundland, plus time in Antarctica (...Expand for more
3 months) and the Arctic region off the coast of Alaska (3 months) twice. After his retirement in 1994 he worked for a Bank in Wilmington, NC for a short period, then began employment with Food Lion in the Produce Dept. Stayed with that for 10 years then moved over to the Defense Commissary Agency in Jacksonville, NC as a Contract Supply Specialist. In October 2014 he decided retirement was in his future; he totally retired. Unfortunately in February 2015 his wife was diagnosed with stage 2 Ovarian Cancer which changed their future travel plans. He continues to live in North Carolina with two of his children living with 12 miles of him and one son (who has a severe medical condition, now under Duke Medical Center care) continues to live with him. His oldest daughter lives in Tracy, CA with three grand-children, his oldest son lives in Fairfax, VA with twins (boy/girl). His next daughter lives in San Diego, CA with two grand-children. The last three children are locally here with one grand-child. He continues to enjoy his boat doing ocean fishing, cruising the water and exploring different inland islands. The water seems to be his life's enjoyment with family and friends.
