He was predeceased by his father John Dietrich Halterman, his mother Gertrude Vollbrecht, brother John D. Halterman, and nephew John D. Halterman IV. He is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, and dear friends. Don started his career at RCA Camden as an electronics technician. He moved on to the Singer Company, which later merged with Friden Inc. He worked as an electronics technician for TRW after TRW purchased Singer-Friden. He was then employed by Fujitsu Global and traveled frequently to California to work with electronic point-of-sale terminals. Toward the end of his career, he took a position at the headquarters of Strawbridge & Clothier, working on their many electronic point-of-sale terminals and other computer systems. His final position was with the corporate office of Pep Boys, from where he retired. Don also served in the Air National Guard, assigned to the 111th Consolidated Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at the former Willow Grove Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base. He was very proud of his service and spoke about it until the end of his days. He enjoyed boating, crabbing and fishing, and the New Jersey shore. He also enjoyed the York River in Virginia, where he spent many happy hours on his son Eric's pontoon boat. He also loved collecting, and had an extensive collection of rocks and minerals, fossils, antiques, and figural miniature liquor bottles. He regularly attended Holy Nativity Lutheran Church in Wenonah. Don was a hard-working man whose main goal in life was to provide for his family. He lived for his wife and children, and he was always kind to everyone and was ready to help anyone who needed it. He was the best husband, father, and friend anyone could ask for.
