Donald, affectionately known as Donnie, was born on September 8, 1960, and lived a life filled with joy, laughter, and love. He was a happy-go-lucky man whose warmth and positive spirit touched all who knew him.

A lifelong fan of the Boston Bruins, Donnie had a passion for hockey, which began in his youth. He played the sport as a young adult and carried that love for the game throughout his life, often sharing his excitement with friends and family. His love for the Bruins was just one example of his enthusiasm for life and his ability to bring people together over shared interests.

Donnie was a devoted family man. His greatest joy came from making memories with his loved ones, whether it was learning about history, having deep conversations, or simply enjoying the everyday moments that made life special. Following in his father’s footsteps he became a master electrician and carrying on the family business of “Landry Electric Service”. Known for his infectious sense of humor, Donnie was famous for his dad jokes that could always bring a smile to anyone’s face.

He was a man who touched lives in ways that words can hardly capture, and his legacy of love, laughter, and kindness will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
