In 1956, Don and Marie moved to Burley, where they opened Hudson's Shoes of Burley; they later expanded their business to Boise and Ontario, Ore.

He was an avid skier and enjoyed cross-country skiing, where he was able to explore God's creations. He also enjoyed reading and was always up for a good BYU football or basketball game. However, most important to Don was his family and cherished friendships. He was a loving husband, a great father and a gentle grandfather and great-grandfather.
