Born October 10, 1946 in Lancaster, PA he was the son of the late Loretta Jean and Charles V. Herr, Jr. He was the husband of Debra (Buzby) Herr with whom he would have celebrated forty-four years of marriage in September.
Donn Graduated from J.P. McCaskey High School and briefly attended York College, then graduated from Elizabethtown College with a degree in history. He served in the U.S. Army during 1967-1969 as a coding clerk in Germany and received Good Conduct and National Defense Service medals.

Donn enjoyed photography and traveling; camping at Watkins Glen for Formula 1 races and traveling to Montreal. There were trips to many tropical destinations as well and many cruises.
