Donald L Farrell

Branch: Air Force
Served: 1979 - 1984
Hometown: Mount Joy, PA
After high school in Silver Spring, MD, I enlisted and was trained as a bioenvironmental engineering specialist at the School of Aerospace Medicine, Brooks AFB. My wife was a SSgt and I was a Sgt. when we were discharged and we began a family, supported by my career that the USAF helped me start. Two beautiful women, ages 28 & 27. I had a very active lifestyle and was a lifelong singer, but no more. I was diagnosed in August, 2011 and endeavor to live and love with purpose and joy in the moments that remain. I retired from the Env. Emergency program at PA DEP in March, 2012. Thanks be to God!
