Don was born Nov. 1, 1942, in Davenport, Iowa, to Lewis and Evelyn (Daily) Herington. He graduated from Olin High School in 1961. Don married Stephanie Sterner on May 25, 1975, in Olin.

Don owned and operated his own autobody repair shop. He worked for Caterpillar and later drove a truck for Wonder Bread. The grandkids remember his special treat of bringing home Hostess snacks.

He participated in the Walcott Truckers Jamboree for 35 years, as well as the Old Threshers Reunion.

Don was a member of the American Historical Truck Society and St. Matthew's Lutheran Church.
