He was born January 30, 1938, in Joliet, Illinois, the second son of Paul and Marie Goldsmith Hall. Don graduated from Joliet High School where he was the star running back in football.

He later owned and operated seven pizza restaurants, two of which he opened himself.

In 1981, Don became an independent insurance agent, selling life and health insurance. He was also a financial planner under AL Williams and Amershire Insurance Companies. Don moved to Florida and while selling insurance, met Charlene. They were married in 1990. She was a devoted wife to him for 36 years - he called her his angel. Later, the couple moved to Mountain Home to take care of his parents. In insurance, Don met Mr. Olson and was invited to Twin Lakes Baptist Church. Don and Charlene became members in 1992. After becoming a deacon, he met Jim in Promise Keepers. This led them to meet Jerry Backus and begin a wonderful friendship. He became Don's mentor and taught him about sharing Jesus without fear. Don held a four week class at Twin Lakes and other local churches. He was a past member of the Chamber of Commerce with his good friends Ron Hladun and Gary Erwin.
