Pretty Much Awesome!!
How lucky are we to have a dad like this
He works 80 hours a week (maybe more maybe less, only a little less) doing two different jobs so he can support his family and his wife can stay home with his two youngest kids. His day may consist of getting up at 3:30 am working at the plant for 12 hours getting home 6:30 pm (there's an hour drive out and back. I'm not that bad at math) to grab a bite to eat and then run off to do some type of flooring. Come home and still may mow the lawn or get on some "cleaning Nazi" kick. Then does it all the next day. Pretty exhausting if you ask me but he doesn't complain, just keeps on trucking along.
I know he may not be my biological donor but I know Jenni can attest to the fact he is very much our dad as he is his other seven. (Busy guy)
Pops is an awesome dad, this man will do pretty much anything to have a little fun. There have been a few family water fights where dad bringing the hose into the house just so no one has a safe haven. Wrastlin matches where the kids learn, "If you're going to play with the big boys prepared to get hurt" (Thanks Mom) Of course he's the one getting hurt more often now that he is of the geriatric age.
He can sit and talk to ANYONE for hours about ANYTHING. Everyone can get along with Pops. He makes friends fast no matter where he goes.
He will share anything he has with anyone (maybe not the best idea, but he's always willing) He will teach you whatever it is you want to know (if he knows it) and is really good about letting you do it and trusting you. (Even if you don't want to set the tile entry on your own) He makes you a better person for it.
He is a phenomenal photographer. Everyone needs an original DONK hanging in their house.
Most importantly HE WILL FIGHT TO THE DEATH FOR HIS KIDS.
He means what he says and I know he loves all of his kids very VERY much (This includes the Red headed step child and Jenni as well). Thanks for sharing him with us Tiffany, D.J., Whitney, Kody, Taylor, Enola and Jett. We are very lucky!
Oh and he can grow a wicked mullet.

What a nice tribute Aimee, and pretty accurate I'd say. I had no idea Don dragged the hose into the house during water fights. Are you sure he isn't biologically related to Grandpa Risser? Must be channeling him.
Happy Fathers Day Don!
He is a pretty awesome dad! I couldn't be more happy to join such a crazy family.
I couldn't have said it any better. Dad you ARE the BEST. We love you and thank you for making us your own, we couldn't have gotten any more lucky. LOVE YOU DAD
yes, you ladies are lucky to have him in your lives! Love you Dad!
Amen! Amen! Amen!
He is an awesome uncle too. Oh, and self proclaimed expert on the birds and the bees.
