Donald Axleroad Obituary

Published by Thomas M. Gallagher Funeral Home on Sep. 23, 2017.
Donald passed away on Tuesday, September 5, 2017. Donald was a resident of Connecticut at the time of passing. He graduated from Poughkeepsie High School and received his undergraduate degree from the Pratt Institute. He loved sailing and traveling; he loved sketching whimsical portraits of people he'd just met; he loved cooking feasts for his friends and family, the more the better; but most of all, he loved spending time with his family, who will remember him always as a generous, witty, one-of-a-kind person. Funeral services are at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 7, 2017 at Agudath Sholom Synagogue, 301 Strawberry Hill Avenue in Stamford, CT. Interment will follow at Agudath Sholom Cemetery.
