Born August 18, 1924 in Washington, DC., he was the son of the late Oscar Dewey Liming and Esther (Mehlfelt) Liming. He enjoyed spending childhood summers with his grandparents in Colonial Beach, VA.

Don married Margaret Theresa Lowe in 1948 and they were together for 61 years until her passing in 2009. Don was a Highway Engineer for the DC Highway Administration for 35 years.

He was a leader, very outgoing, and helped family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors with all manner of projects and endeavors, large and small. He loved the outdoors, fishing, crabbing, gardening, and growing beautiful flowers and plants, both outdoors and indoors.
