BIG BEND - Age 77. At peace November 26, 2024. Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Peter Joseph & Phyllis Eileen (nee Bridges) Donsbach and his brother Phillip Franco.
Loving husband of Sharon L. Donsbach for 35 years. Loving father of Stacey (Joe) Quinn, Nicole (Joe) Charbonnea and Amy Baptiste. Proud grandpa of Aiden Quinn, Jake & CJ Welch, and Gage & Grace Baptiste. Dear brother of Patrick Franco (Doris Rackliff) and Priscilla (John) MacPherson. Further survived by his best friend Bruce (the late Fran) Wynn, many nieces & nephews (who thought the world of him) along with other relatives and friends.
Paul was a longtime employee of Travelers Insurance. He loved woodworking, hunting, fishing, gardening, cooking, dancing and singing but especially spending time with his family.
A very special thank you with heartfelt appreciation goes out to Sharon's family (Paul's in-laws) who he thought of as his own family and neighbors (who became his extended in Big Bend) who all selflessly helped non-stop with caring for Paul and helping with the many chores around the house inside and out. Thank you!
A memorial gathering will be held at Hartson Funeral Home on Saturday, November 30, 2024 from 1 to 3 pm. Memorial Service 3 pm.
