Tillman.  He grew up in Southern California beach communities eventually attending high school in Los Angeles.  He enlisted in the United States Navy and became a Hospital Corpsman serving in Vietnam 1961 – 1965.  Upon his return he earned an A.A. degree in Journalism and worked in sales and advertising before embarking on a political consulting career.  Times changed and he sought a less stressful life and spent 24 years as a meat cutter with Farmer John.  Don made friends wherever he went and people sought him out for his thoughtful guidance and opinion.  Besides his children and grandkids he was proud of his sobriety of over 19 years, and of the service he could offer to others because of it.
