Born in Philadelphia in 1944, he was the son of the late Jacob and Elizabeth (née Donnelly) Much.

Donald was active in high school athletics, lettering in wrestling.

He graduated from Penncrest High School in 1962 and Saint Joseph’s University in 1972 with a B.S. in Business Administration.

Donald was a successful business owner in Delaware County, Pennsylvania and Ogle County, Illinois, owning and operating a recreation sales company and a manufacturing plant, respectively, for many years.

Donald was also an exceptional chef and was a cook in the Delaware National Guard from 1967 to 1971. Over the years, his favorite dishes to prepare were Irish stew, spaghetti and meatballs, home-made soups, and pizzas. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter dinners will not be the same without him.
