During the second world war Don served for four years in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, mostly in the Western desert. On demobilisation he joined a long established practice in York, where he combined an enthusiasm for new developments with traditional patient centred care. He was medical officer to Bootham School, St John's Teacher Training College, and York Water-works, of which he was also a director. His year as president of the York Medical Society was marked by his restoration of the society's historic rooms. He leaves a wife, Bishie; three children; and four grandchildren.
