Donald Caum

Donald Caum, 76, of Rio Verde passed away on May 18, 2019. Don was born in Harrisburg, Pa. in 1942 to Edwin and Marian Caum.

He graduated from Central Dauphin High School in Harrisburg where he was an All-American quarterback. He went on to play football at Penn State where he earned both a Bachelor’s degree and an MBA.

Don spent most of his career as the head of marketing for numerous insurance and financial services firms.

Don was an amazing athlete and he continued to enjoy being active for most of his life. He loved the outdoors; pets and animals were his passion and his “second career” was as a volunteer for the Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center.

Don is survived by his wife, Susan; his children, Douglas and Karen; his son-in-law, Ed; five grandchildren; his sister, Nancy Finkelston and his brother-in-law, Skip Finkelston.

Don will be remembered most for his sense of humor and his often gregarious personality. Services will be scheduled later in the fall of 2019. Contributions can be made in Don’s memory to the Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center, PMB 115, 8711 E. Pinnacle Peak Rd., Scottsdale, AZ 85255, southwestwildlife.org, or to Hospice of the Valley, 1510 E. Flower St. Phoenix, AZ 85014, hov.org.
