Donny was predeceased by his brothers, Robert Lusignan, Richard "Dicky" Lusignan, and Russell Lusignan.
Donny was born in Worcester, son of the late Armand and Jessie (Smith) Lusignan. He was raised and educated in Worcester, and graduated with the Class of 1954 from Commerce High School. Donny was in the U.S. Navy National Guard Reserves. He worked for his father, his uncles, and with his brother, Russell at Lusignan Bros., Inc. Sheet Metal, where he learned the sheet metal trade. Donny worked his way up in the business, and, after his father passed, became President. He was President up until the closure of the company, after 60 years of operation.
Donny was always happy and the life of the party, and he loved to kid around. He enjoyed playing baseball, racquetball, golf, hunting, fishing, boating, dancing, boogie boarding, going to the beach, crooning Frank Sinatra songs at karaoke, and playing scratch tickets. Above all, he loved spending time with his family and friends. He will always be remembered for his love and kindness, his compassion to everyone he knew and met and for his beautiful smile. He welcomed everyone into his heart. He brightened every room and was known as The Mayor.
