Don was born in Smiths Falls on April 15, 1953 to Gordon and Marion Doherty. He grew up in rural Ontario and developed a love for the outdoors and for animals. His love of working with his hands resulted in a varied tapestry of occupations over his lifetime. In his younger years he worked in the mines in Manitoba, he was also a mechanic in Edmonton. He was a master carpenter and cabinetmaker. When he returned to the Ottawa Valley he continued to build homes in the Almonte area. He had a love of horses which led him to build a barn and paddocks on his own beloved farm.

Special thanks to Dr. Charlotte Dawson, Dr. Franz Ferraris who became friends with him and Maria. Thanks also to all the staff at the Almonte General Hospital.
