Donald Harsch Obituary

Harsch, Donald Donald Joseph Harsch Jr., (D.J.) passed away at 66, on October 28th, 2024, in Clarence, New York, after a long illness.

Donald dedicated over 35 years working for his father's business in the trucking industry.

He will be remembered for his kind nature, sharp wit, and work ethic. Donald's sense of humor brought joy and laughter to all who knew him. He was an avid Elvis Presley fan and had an extensive collection of his music. He enjoyed sailing on his catamaran at the family Cottage at Chautauqua Lake and bicycling. He spent much time rebuilding computers, which brought him great satisfaction.

Donald is survived by his siblings: Thomas, Katherine, Daniel, and Susan. He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Donald and MaryEllen Harsch.

Donald's life was marked by his personal Joys and commitment to his work and hobbies. He will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. And keeping with his wishes, a small family service was held.

My deepest sympathies to Don's family. Don & I became friends back in the early 80's when we met while I was working at AM&A's Eastern Hills Mall. He was so much fun to be around. He made everyone laugh with his great sense of humor. I will forever cherish the wonderful memories that I have of him. We lost touch with each other over the years but I never forgot what a kind gentleman he was. RIP my friend.
