Don was born to Walter and Ethel Greve October 4, 1934 in Pueblo Co. He graduated from Centennial High school then attended the University of Colorado in Boulder. He graduated with a degree in Pharmacology in 1955. He married Gail Snyder in 1955. They moved to Durango in 1956. Don worked as a Pharmacist at Wall Drug alongside Carl Albrecht, the owner. He later purchased the drug store and owned it for many years. The store later became Olde Tymer’s Cafe. Don and Gail had three children; Don, Gretchen and Idelle. In September 1981 he married Sharon Wilcox in Durango. Don was a wonderful Pharmacist and Businessman. He was very devoted to his clients. He was honest, caring, and knowledgeable. His clients had his home phone number if they needed something. His children remember many holidays that he had to go to the store, fill a prescription and deliver it. He purchased a cabin at Electra Lake where he enjoyed water skiing, fishing and hunting with all of his family and friends. He often made crazy moves in the boat to shock us! 

He is survived by his wife, Sharon, his children; Don and wife Audrey, Gretchen and Idelle. He is also survived by Sharon’s sons: Troy, Kevin, Kyle and Travis. 

He was a wonderful father and husband.

He will be missed..
