He also worked for The Flower Gallery, Flannery and Bakers Supermarket, Virginia Tech Extension Agency and Retail Credit. Don loved spending time with his family. He loved to picnic, bird watch, fish, celebrate the holidays, woodwork, work on his cars and tinker. "Papaw Munsey" also deeply loved his two grandsons. Always there for a hug and smile for them both, he was so proud of each of them. Don was an extremely smart man and could fix anything. He enjoyed learning about any subject or project. His curiosity of how things worked led him to be creative in finding ways to making something work again. Don was a truly caring and empathetic person. He put others needs before his own and never liked to be in the limelight. He will be deeply missed for countless reasons, but we are all better for having him in our lives and loving him. And him loving each of us back. He is Home now, hugging the loved ones and friends who awaited his arrival in Heaven.
