He was born June 22, 1932 in Cambridge, the son of Clair and Rena (Stephens) Lundburg. He married Guynith L.

He was also preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Gene Lundburg.

Don attended ROVA High School and prior to serving in the U.S. Army had drove a truck for the Oneida Lumber Yard. This experience got him a place in the motor pool during the Korean War. Upon his discharge from the military he drove trucks for Don Berg and Bell Trucking and had also operated the Oneida Gas Station.

In 1965 he became an over the road truck driver for Warren Transportation and was a proud recipient of the 25-year accident free award. Don and Guynith owned and operated the Oneida Laundromat and Oneida Small Engine Service for many years. Don co-chaired the Oneida Homecoming Committee along with Tom Green in the 1980’s. Following retirement, he enjoyed camping and joined the Great River Ramblers and was a member of the American Legion-Oneida Post for 64 years.
