Don O'Connell
|
|
We lost a terrific player, teammate, and friend Don O'Connell this morning (Sunday 11/12/2023) as he passed away after a courageous fight with cancer. We all remember Don as that left-handed hitting 3rd baseman with the "sweet swing" who could guide the ball easily into left, center, or right field.
Don was born in Jackson Heights, NY on July 26, 1951. He grew up on Long Island and would meet the love of his life Judy, at a Polish Festival, over 30 years ago. Don is survived by his loving wife Judy, a sister Donna, a daughter Kristine and two grandchildren Mason and Sarah. Don and Judy recently celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary in August.
Don started his college career at West Virginia University and played football there while pursuing a degree in forestry. He then went on to complete his education at SUNY before pursuing and achieving the amazing accomplishment of 5 Masters Degrees. Don was an elementary school teacher for many years, a drivers education instructor, and rounded out his professional life as a 6th grade teacher.
Don was recognized across Marco Sr. Softball as the "nicest gentlemen in the League." As a runner, if you reached 3rd base he would greet you with a handshake or fist pump, a kind smile, and tell you "that was a great hit"...even if it was one of your worst days at the plate!
Don embodied the essence of Marco Sr, Softball:
-Sportsmanship -Camaraderie -Socialization -Self Development -Friendly Competition
Rest in Peace to "the nicest guy ever to step onto the Field at Winterberry."
The funeral Mass for Don will be Saturday December 2nd at 11am at San Marco Catholic Church.
