Donald was born in Worcester and graduated from Worcester Boys Trade. He was a union carpenter and a long-time member of Worcester Local 107. He was also a Maintenance Engineer at Chess King Warehouse in Worcester for several years.
His high school yearbook quote, “Can you imagine Donald Perron without his ‘35 Ford coupe?” proved out as he restored and enjoyed the car throughout his life.
Don and his wife Patricia raised their large family in Edgemere along the shores of Lake Quinsigamond. They also enjoyed many years of boating on the Sela, along the coast of Rhode Island. He treasured spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, doing puzzles, and feeding the birds, and he was an avid reader.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to a charity of your choice, and please consider a random act of kindness.
Relatives and friends are invited to visit with the Perron family from 10:00 -11:30 am on Friday, November 15, 2024, at the BRITTON-SHREWSBURY FUNERAL HOME, 648 Main St., Shrewsbury, followed by burial in Mountain View Cemetery, Shrewsbury.
