He was the beloved husband of the late Margaret (Lindsay) Wall. Donald was born in Bridgeport on February 18, 1931, son of the late Hazel (Gordon) Sander, and lived in Shelton for 23 years. He served his country with the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War. Donald graduated from Florida Southern College with a degree in Baseball Administration and went on to manage baseball farm teams. He was a jack of all trades in his work life. An avid fan of the NY Mets and NY Giants, Donald always possessed a fantastic sense of humor.

I am so sorry for your loss. A wonderful, sweet man who always had a smile on his face and waved to me when I drove by and he was walking his dog. I have missed his sweet smile.
