He continued brokerage and development and developed such streets as Arline Drive, Spruce, Janet Drive, Ruth Ann Drive, Bruce Court, Edgewood Lane North, Sherwood Drive and Park Forest Drive. He also completed many commercial and industrial projects.

Don's son, Bruce, joined the firm in 1974 and continues to be involved in commercial and industrial property development and management. Don's daughter, Nancy, and husband, Fred, later joined the firm in 1991. Nancy's emphasis remains residential brokerage and Fred handled residential property management up until his retirement in 2008.
