Don was a truckdriver for many, many years prior to owning his own trucking business. He was out of shape and lived the truckers lifestyle. Unless you've driven truck, you probably don't know what that entails.
He was a cross-country driver.
He started bodybuilding late. Very late. He did not "ease" into the lifestyle. He dove head-first into hardcore bodybuilding.
He was a very nice guy and easy to talk to. Instead of owning an ordinary cat, he owned a huge Bobcat. He died in his sleep, but the reports as to "why" were kept quiet. The family never released the autopsy reports.
Don and I used to talk and email all the time. I still have emails from him. Sad, but yeah, prolly the best way to go if you had to choose.
I wish I still had the pics of him posing with his Bobcat and the one of him standing on top of his Kenworth.
